THEA050 PO - Theatrical Production and the parallels in our American SocietyWhen Offered: Each fall.
Instructor(s): G. Ortega
Credit: 1
We will be assessing, discussing and writing about historical and dramaturgical context of a play’s themes in production, in relation to the current state of our American society. By learning the dramaturgical context of the chosen play and examining how people have responded to historic and/or present-day conditions of discrimination in United States society, we are able to utilize theatre as a vehicle for social awareness and consciousness. This performance-based course will explore the parallels between such productions and American society by analyzing the causes and effects of discrimination in the United States through the lens of performance and pedagogy. This class encourages participants to give voice and form to their own stories, their political activism, their dreams and visions, and their aspirations for themselves and their communities. May be repeated once for credit.
