FR 272Y - Intensive Course Abroad (4 Cr.)

French Theatre in Paris and Marseille: Languages of Performance (3-4 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 and THE 272Y but may take only SP/SU or SU/FA components with instructor permission. Offered 2021 and alternate years. Free and Ingram.
