THE 255 - Method and Approach to Theatre Research (4 Cr.)*credit change from 3 to 4 approved 10/8/2014
All areas of theatre require strong research skills, whether from the perspective of the actor researching a role, or the designer studying an historical period, or the dramaturge uncovering the meaning in a dramatic text. Students in this course learn how to do effective research for the theatre: analyzing primary and secondary sources, finding credible and useful source materials, approaching research whether for scholarly or artistic production, uses of textual and non-textual materials, and the application of research for aesthetic purposes. The course draws on classic dramatic texts and theatrical traditions from the world canon, and considers how they have inspired and been adapted by modern practitioners. Required of majors and minors; open to non-majors and non-minors. Prerequisite: Writing Proficiency at least through ENG 104. Spring semester. Free.
