Propose, read, and discuss plays in consideration for production for Theater Department Mainstage. Reading a script is different than reading a novel: in this class, we will examine how to read a text for performance. Over the course of the semester, we will consider a range of plays and approaches to performance--from classics to contemporary plays to devised work. In the course, students will explore plays and performance ideas recommended by the community with an emphasis on examining how they might operate as productions within the Theater Department's Mainstage. Students will lead discussions, gain skills in text analysis, dramaturgy, and creative and practical thinking as they consider what type of work the Theater Department might produce. This class will result in a slate of scripts and performance ideas that will be offered to the Theater Department faculty for consideration for one of the Mainstage productions. This course counts towards the Theater Arts category for the THEA major. This course may count (one time only) towards the Performance Practice credit requirement for the THEA major. |
