Contemporary Theater: Theories and Aesthetics
THEA 302
Fall 2012
| Section:
01
|
| Certificates: Social, Cultural, and Critical Theory |
By examining key moments in Western theater history from the late 18th century to the recent past, the course explores the active relationship between theoretical thought and aesthetic innovation on stage. We reconstruct these moments by relying on a variety of documents and media, including but not limited to, theater on film, play texts, documentaries, scholarly articles, manifestos, and reviews. The course highlights the ways in which such groundbreaking works represent dynamic, diverse, and cumulative ruptures with the mainstream and ultimately shape how we see and create theater today. |
