THEA 636 Styles and Forms II

This is a continuation of the work done in STYLES AND FORMS I (THEA 635). As a core element of the second year of the MFA training, the work of this two-semester class engages students in the challenging task of creating their own work. Classes introduce students to a range of essential styles and dramatic works in the history of western theatre. The objective of the course is to deepen the students’ understanding of the relationship between style and content, to increase their physical, poetical and intellectual understanding of the underlying structures within very different theatrical styles, and to develop the students’ ability to negotiate highly transposed levels of play. This exploration will allow students to develop a better insight into what kind of theatre and performance they are passionate about, and also enable them to go beyond already existing forms in order to create their own work.
