| Section:
01
|
An intensive exploration of the interaction of materials, the human form, and text in performance. The topics covered will include draping the human form, basic design, costume research, design presentation, styles of design, character analysis, and text analysis. The class examines a variety of texts that utilize the mythic figure of Medea as its central character. We will begin with the Euripides, the text that has primarily shaped Western stereotypes of the character. It will provide us with a baseline for understanding the story. |
