THA 323 - Physical Traditions in Performance

Institution:

West Chester University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Theatre And Dance

Description:

This course examines multicultural and historical non-storytelling traditions of performance that stem from actor-driven creation. Throughout theatrical history significant innovations and practices grew from creative work established not by playwrights and directors, but rather from actors themselves. This is non-text driven work relying on improvisational characterization within the structure of a historical tradition. This class studies these traditions in order to empower the actor as a part of the creative process and generate a sizeable skill set for use in all theatrical settings.
