TE 290: Turning Points in Drama
|
| |
In this course, we'll examine some of the major plays and crital writings that server as significant turning points within cultural history. Since the Classical Greek Era, the theatre arts has provided artists with the popportunity to reflect and resist cultural values. Throughout this twenty-five hundred year span, we'll focus in on those plays and movements that pushed boundaries and called out for change. In doing so, we'll examine the ways in which these plays were able to bring about change not only within the theatre arts, but within society as well. In addition, this class will also make excursions outside of the classroom as we travel to see live theatre productions here at Stetson as well as in the neighborning community.
