Description:

Explores various modes of expression in the theatre arts through active in-class learning based on independent and group work.

The material used in class provides for the examination and comparison of different cultural perspectives as seen through dramatic texts and theatrical exercises. These different cultural perspectives include an awareness of the changing conditions in our world and the role of theatre/art work as a voice and tool of understanding within this context. Provides students with a platform for self-examination and challenges within an aesthetic and cultural environment geared towards the non-professional. An emphasis will be placed on theatre activities that can be applied to the K-12 classroom. This course satisfies the Liberal Studies requirement for work in Studio Arts.
