THEATRE 280 - Gender and Theatre

Institution:

Reed College

Subject:

Description:

Full course for one semester. This course examines the roles gender has played in shaping world theatre as well as the roles theatre has played in shaping various cultural conceptions of gender. We will focus particularly on 20th-century performance, including cross-dressing, "re-dressing" of canonical plays, the ascent of performance art, and questions of theatre and gender raised by performers from Japan to Cuba. We will interrogate the historical, cultural and personal variability of the notion of gender itself, asking ourselves: What are theatre artists doing with the idea of gender Conference.
