THTR 268 - Dramaturgy

CR: 3
Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. Dramaturgy is the practical application of historical research and literary analysis to the
development and production of theatrical work. In this course, we will consider the role of the
dramaturg in the creation of new work as well as in the production of existing texts. We will cover
the basics of script analysis from the perspectives of actors, designers, and directors. We will develop
techniques for producing and communicating dramaturgical research to creative teams as well as
audiences, and build the skills necessary for integrating dramaturgy into our own creative practice. Offered alternate years.
