Spring 2009 215s(01) Advanced PerformanceWorkshop In this course we will engage (perform/direct) scenes from plays written by contemporary American women playwrights (i.e., Sybil Kempson, erin Courtney, Karinne Keithly) while comparing them to scenes from early experimental American women playwrights (gertrude Stein, Susan glaspell).

There will be some theoretical and historical reading assignments, short individual research projects, and monthly scene presentations. Meets Humanities I-A requirement B. O'Harra Prereq. 105 or permission of instructor; 4 credits 215s(02) Acting/Directing Continuing the study of acting and/or directing through exercises, improvisations, and the rehearsal and presentation of scenes from dramatic literature.
