DANCE DRAMATURGY: THEORY IN PRACTICE

Catalog description

A seminar/studio course centered on the theory and practice of new work dramaturgy, specifically in the areas of Dance, and Devised Dance/Physical Theater. Studying and practicing contemporary approaches to dramaturgy in American contexts, we consider its varied applications and locate its development from origins in the European Theater. Two-thirds of course activity is fulfilled in a seminar format--with discussions, readings and viewings--and one-third covers practical dramaturgical work on a chosen project during the quarter.
