08F, 09W, 09X: 10A Plays are written to be performed. Reading and analyzing them is different from reading novels or poems. Watching them performed is different from watching films or dance. Students will explore the collaborative process of the theater event through sessions with actors, directors, designers and dramaturges. We will ask: how are plays structured? how do plays become performances? how shall we look at work that is non-scripted, grounded in improvisation, ritual or the display of specific skills? how does performance participate in culture? what is theatricality?
