Identity and the American Theatre

Catalog description

Identity in Theatre explores the ethical and moral evolution of identity through the scripts and practices of our contemporary Theatre. It approaches this through the dialectic as well as class projects such as the personal diversity statement as outlined in the PowerPoint (pdf) submitted for review. In this course, we find that there are no dichotomous answers but much of our discussion examines the grey spaces in between and how there is no one right answer or structure that will solve everything. Ultimately, the course requires the students to examine pre-held belief structures and evolve their way of thinking into a more nuanced and fluid process. Prerequisites: LDW course, ENGL-104 or 105 or 195.
