THD 202 - Dramatic Literature II4 credits (Spring)
Cross-listed as: GLS 202 . Through lecture, discussion, and practicum this course investigates leading examples of world performance from 1800 to the 21st century. Our examinations will engage Melodrama, Modernism, twentieth-century avant-garde movements, and postmodernism. Through engagements with literary, historical, and critical texts, we will situate landmark performance texts within their sociopolitical and artistic contexts. Our study will also engage in explorations of dramaturgy (how the theatrical past comes alive on contemporary stages), historiography (debates in the writing of theater history), and dramatic and performance theory.
Prerequisite: Second-year standing.
Note: Plus-2 option available.
Instructor: Mayorga
