THTD 10100 - Intro to Theatre Research & Writing

Course Credit: 1
INTRODUCTION TO THEATRE RESEARCH AND WRITING The Theatre and Dance program at Wooster emphasizes the importance of analyzing texts in their various modes: the written text, the visual text and the physical text of the performer’s body. These modes interact simultaneously with each other in the process of performance. This course specifically poses fundamental questions about the nature of written texts, and how they become transformed in the performance process. This understanding of texts is fundamental to both the enlightened theatre and dance audience member and to the work we do as actors, dancers, directors, choreographers, dramaturges, designers, technical personnel, and support staff. Annually. Fall and Spring. [AH, W]
