An examination of the ways of life, past and present, and of people of five regions of the world: East Asia, India, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe. Readings in the literature of each region help students understand how these peoples live and how they think about their own cultures. Because the world today is interrelated as never before, an ethnocentric perspective which looks at history only from a Western point of view is no longer sufficient. Students are expected to learn to think cross-culturally, to develop an understanding of different cultures and, at the same time, gain a deeper perception of their own society. Offered every semester.

This course will introduce acting as an intellectual and emotional process, giving each its due while at the same time respecting Theatre as Show Biz. We start with the premise that the foundation of acting comes from the spontaneous interaction of the actor with him or herself, other actors, the audience, and the script. Therefore, we will work with improvisation, games, and then apply them to the script to enhance the script's thematic intentions. We will examine scenes to understand their structure and their meaning and then build layers of emotion into them from the actor's experience. Prerequisite: ECI placement or equivalent
