Description

An introduction to some of the major theoretical models and tools for analysis of the theatrical event. This course is designed
to prepare the student to look at a theatrical event from different critical perspectives and to think, speak and write about such
events within a coherent theoretical framework. The course will include study of the writings of Aristotle, Stanislavski and
Brecht, among others and will explore the cross-influence of anthropology, psychology, literary theory and biology with
theatrical art. The application of theory will be studied in practical in-class performance.
