Devising Performance

Catalog description

Must be a Theatre Major or have permission of the instructor. In this course, students will examine one of two areas: devising solo performances OR devising collaborative performances. Offered on an alternating basis, both versions of the course will provide students with an examination of basic readings, historical background, and examples of the type of performance being studied. In addition to studying the theoretical basis of devised performance, students will create their own performances through a variety of class exercises, outside research, and group collaborations.
