APTH 318 - Postmodernism & Theatrical Devising

2 credit(s)
The creation of compelling theatre is not always driven by a prescriptive text or the vision of a director. Instead, shows may be generated by artists who deconstruct, problematize, and illuminate a prompt or set of questions. Employing tools from all disciplines of theatre, the class will gain practice in starting from open-ended performance texts (such as those by Caryl Churchill and Gertrude Stein), found texts, and classical plays, as well as non-text sources (such as a question or community issue) May be repeated for credit.
