INTERNATIONAL EXPERIENCE: THEATRE AND SOCIAL CHANGE IN CZECHIA

Catalog description

(Slashed with THEA 41089 )(Repeatable for credit) Using a combination of in-depth research and direct learning experiences, this course explores the intersection between theatre and socio-political change through the example of Czechoslovakia’s history from the 1968 Prague Spring to the Velvet Revolution of 1989/90 and on through today’s concerns of Western late-stage capitalism. Students study both historical and contemporary texts, as well as view productions while on a study abroad program.
