ENGLISH 90pb - Dramatic Structure and Analysis: Seminar

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

Introduces the Plot-Bead technique for analyzing and/or constructing artistic forms that are performance events. Several artworks, most of them plays, but some poems and one musical composition, are studied in detail in the light of depth action analysis and codification of the artifact's time-form in a plot-bead diagram. The roots of these analytical techniques (which have practical utility for artists) are Aristotelian, but are reflected in 21st-century practice.
