31-3120 Performance Theory

In this Seminar/Lab class, students will examine a broad variety of historical and contemporary approaches to performing and to the use of the actor’s instrument in order to develop their own theory of performance. Each week short assigned readings will be discussed in a seminar session followed by a lab using exercises and text work, applying theory to practice.
