Skidmore College

Subject:

Description:

A study of major periods of Western theater from ritualistic beginnings to 1800. Students explore and analyze how theater's components-plays, acting, design, theory, and management-combine to express and reflect a culture's dominant values. Architecture, painting, sculpture, music, and dance-the constituent arts of theater-will be examined both within and outside the theatrical context to explore aesthetic, socioeconomic, and political values that shape a culture's idea of theater. (Fulfills humanities requirement.) G. Dasgup
