Using seminar and workshop approaches, this course involves students in production dramaturgy (research applied to the staging of a play). These activities are then applied to preparing a production of that play. The specific features of both the dramaturgical and production activities will necessarily vary depending on the specific play being produced. As a general rule, dramaturgical research will consist of examining the play in question both as a particular idiosyncratic work with its own unique internal characteristics and as a work situated within larger theatrical and dramatic contexts. This research will commonly include a consideration of the social, political and cultural contexts from which the play emerged. Part of the theatre arts concentration and may also be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered annually)

This course provides an overview of African-American art, presented in three periods: from slavery to World War I, from the Harlem Renaissance and related movements of the 1920's to social realism of the 1930's, and frommodernist abstraction following WWII to postmodern representations of Black identity. There will be a particular focus on representations of African- Americans as well as representations by African-Americans in art and film as we move through these periods. African and American/European cultural and visual sources are introduced, where appropriate, to create a comparative context for the art work studied. We will be sensitive to the development of artists' work. Part of the art history concentration and minor and the American artistic experience concentration. It may also be taken as an elective.

This is a course in Shakespeare's drama that emphasizes the plays as potential theatre productions. While studying five or six plays representative of the different acknowledged types of Shakespearean drama (comedy, tragedy, history, problem comedy, romance), students will gain a broad understanding of the character and range of Shakespeare's poetic-dramatic art. Experimenting on selected production activities, they acquire a practical appreciation of Shakespearean drama's theatrical potency, of the original staging conventions, and how each type of play makes particular generic demands on both the reader and spectator. A term research project will focus on the history of a single play's staging interpretation. Part of the theatre arts concentration and minor and may also be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered occasionally)

In this course we examine the public remembering and memorialization of historic events that lead to memorials and monuments in the fields of architecture, sculpture and film. We begin by examining the nature of memory, and specifically of collective memory, and its relationship to historical events and its subsequent transformation in the process of memorialization. We look at examples of the sculptural monument, a traditional form of memorial, and the evolution of its vocabulary in the second half of the 20th century. We also examine the memorial work undertaken by those museums whose primary function is to engage in remembering historical events, a recent phenomenon in the field of museum building. Part of the art history concentration and minor and the American artistic experience concentration. It may also be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered annually)

This course will examine art in the age of the new deal; that is the art and context of the 1920's and the 1930's that spawned the works of the federal artprojects of the 1030's. We will examine the role of the Roosevelt administration'snew deal that fostered government sponsorship of the arts, including the visual arts, film, theater, literature, music and dance. We will examine the art produced through this sponsorship in the context of the evolution of 20th century modernism, mostly European, which had just begun to influence American art. We will look at the stylistic and ideological affinities of this figurative style, known as the American scene, with the Mexican muralists and other government-sponsored social realist art of the 1930's. Part of the art history concentration and minor and the American artistic experience concentration. It may be taken as an elective. Class 4, Credit 4 (offered annually)

We examine the origins of the modern museum, the evolving purposes of the institution, the history of the architecture of museum buildings and its significance, and museum display practices. With the re-opening of MoMa we will study its pivotal role in plotting the course of modern art. We will examine the online presence of museums and the globalization of museum culture.
