THEA 1343 - WORLD THEATRE: 1890-Present

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This is the third in a world theatre history sequence designed to explore the development of dramatic forms and theatre practices from the 5th century B.C.E. To 1970. In world theatre: 1890 to Present, we will discuss the history of the theatrical arts which includes looking at drama, design, performance traditions and audiences from the late dramas of Ibsen to the plays of Beckett and Pinter. Framed by questions of documentary interpretation and historical causation, the course will analyze the larger contexts of theatrical events, including social and political history, as well as the development of non-theatrical art forms. Our focus will be on Western theatre with occasional references to non-Western forms of performance and production. In addition, we will discuss some contemporary scholarship examining these theatrical events.
