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.
