THE 103 - The Theatre Experience (3 Cr.)

(LER-TXT)
Students will learn to recognize how meaning is constructed in the theatre. Play texts will be used as the foundation for examining the literature of theatre-structure, form, genre, and style and how a play text is transformed into theatre through acting, design, and direction. The historical context of plays (performance conventions, architecture, and audience expectations) will be examined as a way to understand contemporary theatre. The student’s ability to decipher the ways and means of communication in the theatre will be demonstrated in written critiques of live performance. Fall semester, repeated spring semester.
