THE 3260 - Studies in Performance Style

Institution:

Aurora University

Subject:

Description:

3 semester hours "In Performance" courses function on the assumption that a style or playwright'work cannot be fully understood by literary study alone, but must be experienced in performance. Linking plays to their historical time, and using interdisciplinary studies, students approach acting work of a specific time period, genre or playwright by examining it in context of society, literary influences, theatre technology, as well as performance history and notable theories on performance. Techniques and exercises from notable practitioners provide the basis. Studies In Performance Styles may include in-depth analysis in areas such as Comedy; Non- Realism (Becket, Pinter, Shepard, Absurdists, etc.); Restoration; the great realists (Chekhov, Ibsen, Miller) or others. When possible, these studies will complement mainstage production material. Prerequisite: THE2300.
