Primary sources used are paintings, sculpture, and renderings for Baroque operas, as well as rare artifacts that exist from that time as these sources relate to classical evidence extant in that period. Secondary sources re journal articles and records of fully staged productions of intervening years. Primary interest is retracing the thought processes of the designers of Baroque opera. Focus is on Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, looking at the libretto and its relationship to source texts, both ancient and contemporary, and also its place within the cultural history of the theater.

3.00 Credits
A study of the many relationships between drama and ritual from classical antiquity to the 20th century, concentrating on the Western tradition but treating some non-Western paradigms as well. Examines theories of ritual such as those of Van Gennep and Turner and performance theory that emphasizes the element of ritual, such as that of Richard Schechner. Of concern are dramatic elements in rituals (e.g., Turner's study of Ndembu rituals); the function of drama as civic and/or religious ritual (e.g., ancient Greece, medieval Europe); the incorporation of successful and "maimed" rituals into drama (e.g., Aeschylus, Shakespeare); and 20th-century attempts to reinfuse drama with elements of ritual (Artaud, Grotowski, Schechner, Soyinka).
