This course explores dramatic work outside the traditional linear narrative of the Western canon, including Avante-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Existentialism and Absurdism. Students journal and research authors such as Jarry, Artaud, Genet, Stein, Beckett, and will give oral presentations on a writer’s process with a creative essay, as well as completing writing assignments that incorporate non-linear techniques into their own dramatic work.
