VAST 285 - Staging Science,Playing Technology

Institution:

Lafayette College

Subject:

Description:

From its beginnings, one of the great paradoxes of theater has been its antipathy towards and dependence upon science and technology. By examining selected plays in which science and ethics are central subjects, this course explores how theater, which "theatricalizes" technology through using new inventions large and small in live performance, continues reinventing itself as a communal art form, remaking the particulars of cultural mythology, and shaping our response to inevitable change. O'Neill
