THE 272Y - Intensive Course Abroad (3-4 Cr.) (FR 272Y )(DAN 272Y ) (GCR - SA)(GCR Arts area if taken for at least 3 credits)
Courses include a pre-departure or post-departure component (or both) in the fall or spring term and a three-week intensive course abroad in the winter or summer.
The Scottish Connection: A Cultural and Artistic Immersion (5 Cr.)
An intensive international dance and theatre experience in Edinburgh, Scotland. During the first week of the course we will work intensively with Scottish artists in dance and theatre to build a performance piece that we will flashmob in Edinburgh. During the second week the focus will be on cultural and historic investigations of the city of Edinburgh. We will learn Scottish Country dancing and participate in a traditional ceilidh, and will participate in various historical and cultural tours to familiarize you with the city and its history. During the final week of the course will become audience members for the many performance events that are available as part of the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe Festival. Students will also examine the historical, aesthetic, theoretical, philosophical, and critical issues concerning dance and theatre in the British Isles and Europe. This course requires a pre-course in the spring semester. Summer 2018 and alternate years. Program faculty.
French Theatre in Paris and Marseilles: Languages of Performance (4-8 Cr.)
An experiential introduction to contemporary French theatre in Avignon, Marseille, and Paris. In immersion settings such as homestay families, workshops, and cooking classes, students develop skills in French language and theatre (vocal projection, stage presence, and characterization), and see performances as windows into contemporary French culture and traditions of acting and staging. The capstone production is part of the Theatre program’s fall season. Participation (acting or in another production role) is based on skill and interests. Students with no prior French language study may take the English language track. Otherwise, students must be enrolled in FR 120 or have equivalent proficiency. Students must enroll in both FR 272Y (3-4 cr.) and THE 272Y (3-4 cr.) but may take only SP/SU or SU/FA components with instructor permission. Offered 2021 and alternate years. Free and Ingram.
For Spring 2022 and Fall 2022 only, students who take both the pre-courses and post-courses for FR/THE 272Y French Theatre will fulfill the GCR Study Abroad requirement.
