Theatre

Description:

In this course you will learn about important contemporary political, economic , and social events and issues in the world by studying plays which take these as subject matter. The central premise of the course is derived from Aristotle's Poetics, in which the author informs us that "to learn gives the liveliest pleasure" and that learning about a subject occurs most effectively through exposure to a mimetic art such as drama. In other words, you can best learn about important world issues by experiencing stimulating plays. Prerequisites for this course are THEA 1713, Script Analysis. It is recommended that you also take THEA 2713, Theatre & Theory, before taking this course. Prerequisites: "C" or better in THEA 1713 OR Instructor Consent.
