THEA 0263 - Theatre History: The Modern Stage


Credits: 3

This course is an interdisciplinary study of the development, continuum, and evolution of Western theatre in a world cultural context. The course will focus on the agendas and legacies of key figures and movements in the development of Western theatre from the realist/naturalist movements of the nineteenth century to the world theatre of the 1940s. The relationship of Western theatre to Eastern examples, the development of the theatre as a physical structure, the development of various concepts of character and dramatic action, and the changing relationship of life on the stage to life off the stage will be examined through the study of selected dramatists, theoreticians, directors, designers, and performers.
