Theatre Arts 256 - Empty Spaces

Institution:

Hiram College

Subject:

Description:

The interplay between a particular performance space and the choice of play, style of production, design choices and acting style is significant and worthy of exploration. The size of a space and many different ways that space can be arranged with regard to the relationship between performer and audience impacts greatly how the performance is received. How the audience is arranged also affects the interaction among its members. In this class students will explore these relationships by viewing and discussing spaces, talking directly with artists who work therein, observing theatrical events within those spaces, and discussing the experience. The class begins by visiting a wide range of theatrical spaces available in Northeast Ohio, continues with a trip to Toronto to sample some of the offerings there, and concludes with visits to the Stratford and Shaw Festivals.
