FR 272Y - Intensive Course Abroad (6 OR 8 Cr.) (THE 272Y) (GEN. ED. #3, and #8) (LER - ARC)
Courses include a pre-departure or post-departure discussion (or both) in the fall or spring term and a three-week intensive course abroad in the winter intersession or summer.
FRENCH THEATRE IN PARIS AND MARSEILLE: LANGUAGES OF PERFORMANCE (6 OR 8) (THE 272Y)(GEN. ED. #3 AND #8) This course is an experiential introduction to the dynamic world of the contemporary French theatre in Avignon, Marseille, and Paris. Students get to know each area through French theatre artists (amateurs, students, and professionals). Building on longstanding exchanges between these artists and Goucher students and faculty, the course furthers language skills in immersion environments such as home stay families, theatre workshops, and cooking classes. Experienced theatre students profit from direct engagement with French traditions of acting and staging, while beginners discover and develop skills such as vocal projection, stage presence, and characterization. For all students, theatre offers tools for developing conversational ease in French while plays and performances provide a window into contemporary French culture. The capstone project is a Goucher Theatre Department production presented as part of the Department’s fall program. Each student’s participation is based on the individual’s skills and interests. Students may choose to perform an acting role, contribute to visual elements such as costumes or scenery, perform dance or music, participate as a producer/administrator, or pursue research relevant to the production. This 8-credit course (4 in French, 4 in theatre) includes a seven week component in the spring, a three-week program abroad in May/June, and a seven-week component in the fall. Seniors and others unable to participate in the fall may take only the spring and May/June components for 6 credits. Spring/Summer/Fall semesters. Offered 2013 and alternate years. Free and Ingram.
SCREAMS ON SCREEN: HUMAN RIGHTS AND FILM NORTH AND SOUTH OF THE MEDITERRANEAN (6)(GEN. ED. #3) The Gateway component of this course (7 weeks on campus prior to leaving the country - 2 credits) provides an introduction to Morocco and to the French terminology of Cinema Studies. The ICA proper, taught by an international team of scholars consists in a comparative study of how Maghrebi cinema and French cinema represent and defend human rights. Classes alternate with excursions in the area and guest lectures by filmmakers from the Maghreb. Prerequisites: Sophomore standing, French proficiency at the 200- level and/or permission of ICA leaders. Summer, first offered summer 2014. Martin and St. Ours.
