Performance and Communication Arts 215 - D ramatic Texts in Context

Institution:

St Lawrence University

Subject:

Description:

How does a director decide what play to do and the style in which to do it? Answers to these questions are the guiding principles for the investigation of staging practices and plays that span from ancient Greece to those of 19th-century Europe. Students examine how theatrical spaces, scenery and props altered the theatre-going experience. In the end, we focus attention on how knowing the theatrical and cultural contexts of plays can help theatre practitioners make informed choices. Also offered as English 215.
