THEA 0820 - SURVEY OF WORLD THEATRE

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
A course in why and how theatre began, developed, and survives. The urge to play will be seen as a natural and necessary part of being human; the theatre will be seen as a vital part of culture, revealing history in miniature and dreams and desires in concentrated form. From ritual and magic to musical comedy, from outdoor area-altars to computer-controlled scene shifting in multi-million dollar buildings, we will try to learn some of the reasons why the power of an actor, performing live before an audience, remains unchanged.
