This course is designed for the advanced theatre student who has already established a general background in the theatre, by taking the prerequisite beginning Theatre courses.
This class is designed to be a rigorous two year course, where students will learn about world theatrical movements, influential theatrical theorists, and the impact theatre has made on culture today, while engaging students in the act of theatre through the lens of the creator, director, designer and performer.
The class utilizes both ensemble and individual creativity to create theatre in multiple genres, allowing students to explore their role in the process of theatre and how they fit collaboratively into an ensemble and allowing them the opportunity to explore themselves as inquisitive and productive artists. Students will learn to apply research and theory to inform and to contextualize their work, while exploring the role of the audience viewing their performance pieces.
The theatre course encourages students to appreciate that through the processes of researching, creating, preparing, presenting and critically reflecting on theatre— as participants and audience members—they gain a richer understanding of themselves, their community and the world.
