THTR 240 - Community Performance

FDR: HA
Credits: 4
Planned Offering: Spring 2011 and alternate years

Community performance is a branch of educational theatre in which a specific community group generates it own theatrical performance. Community performances are often experimental in form and address important social issues facing the participants. In this course, students learn the theory and applications of community performance though devising their own community-based performance with a local community group. Oral presentations, journal writing, and a short research paper complement students’ creative work in playwriting, acting, and artistic leadership.Jew.
