THEA 125 Comedy Survey II

This course builds on Comedy Survey I. While Comedy Survey I explores the first three elements of comedy (Jokes, Physical Comedy and Narrative), Comedy II explores the final two elements–Point of View and Character. Students will investigate the question “Who is being laughed at, and why?” through a series of readings, screenings, lectures, and discussions. Students will investigate concepts of Parody, Satire, Taboo, Risk, Archetype and Stereotype.
