Theatre, dance, opera--our imaginations give us the natural ability to accept the make-believe worlds they create on stage. While it is the imagination that ultimately allows us to enjoy the performing arts, imagination also plays a role in creating these worlds. Take advantage of our rich local arts community as you experience live performances in Philadelphia! We will use our imaginative capacities to deepen our own experience, while learning about the value of the arts, the controversies surrounding them, and differences in people’s perceptions of the performing arts as compared to other forms of entertainment. Note: This course fulfills the Arts (GA) requirement for students under GenEd and the Arts (AR) requirement for students under Core.
If you have previously completed Theater C110/1002, The Collaborative Art, you cannot get duplicate credit for this course.
