59-1304 CRW: Experimental Theatre

This course explores dramatic work outside the traditional linear narrative of the Western canon, including avante-garde, dada, surrealism, existentialism, and absurdism. Students will research authors such as Jarry, Artaud, Genet, Stein, and Beckett, and will give oral presentations on a writer’s process with creative essays, as well as complete writing assignments that incorporate nonlinear techniques into their own dramatic work.
