  • THEA 2850: Realism, Surrealism, and Expressionism: Twentieth Century Drama in Theory and Practice

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    The twentieth century is the period in which drama most explicitly confronted the question of its own nature and function, seeking to assert its unique power and significance in the face of other representational media. Does the theater's power and purpose lie in it ability to represent the world around it with the objective realism championed by Zola? Or does "its very power, its whole authority, come from the fact that it is not true, and the idea of accuracy is fatal to its peculiar unsettling and revolutionary power," as Howard Barker suggests a hundred years later? If the goal of theater is truth, is that truth subjective or objective? If the goal of the theater is experiential, how might performance circumvent rational thought? And how do any of these questions affect actual performance and reception? This course will consider the plays and theoretical writings of European and American playwrights including Chekov, Strindberg, Jarry, Artaud, O'Neill, Pirandello, Genet, Beckett, Barker, Churchill, Kushner, and Parks. A significant portion of the course will be devoted to exploration of these works through performance experiments. Students are expected to write several short papers, present one or two performance experiments, and participate actively in class discussion. This class is designed for students with previous work literature or theater; enrollment is limited to 20. This course satisfies the English AOC requirements for Criticism/Theory and Textual Analysis.(This course with the same title is also listed under English and Literature. Students may list only one of them on their contract.)

  • THEA 3200: Directing I

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This practical theatre course will provide the beginning directing student with an initial experience in directorial analysis as well as experience in mounting selected scenes in proscenium, arena, and thrust environments. We will focus on the development of skills in the areas of: principals of directing, interpretation, composition, the actor, articulation of a directorial concept, use of theatrical space, creation of stage imagery, dramaturgy/historical research, script analysis, casting, ensemble development, and initializing the creation of personal aesthetic. As we develop directorial point of view, the stage director becomes a student not only of theatrical practice but of politics, literature, visual art, music, philosophy, science, religion, current events, and so forth. As much as imparting skills, the course asks students to begin to think as directors, and to bring diverse aspects of their own identities to the work. Students will begin with realistic style and then venture into other styles if they wish. We will also discuss: critiquing the work of others, non-verbal choreography, and leading a production team. Special emphasis will be placed on the role of dramaturgical understanding in the creation of meaningful stage action. Prerequisite of an Acting class. FTIC Course instructor is Diego Villada
