L15 Drama 214 Public Speaking: Embodied Communication 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: The ability to speak well and to communicate effectively in the public forum is an essential skill for all students. This course aims to offer a comprehensive and wide ranging approach to developing the skills of the contemporary speaker. While acknowledging and utilizing traditional approaches to public speaking, this course will expand its reach to include applicable techniques from the world of the Performing Arts -- especially theatre and dance. The course does not intend to train the student as a dancer or actor, but it maintains that the successful speaker would do well to harness some of the transferable skill sets from these disciplines. The speaker, like the performer, must stand before an audience with an objective to communicate something well. Both should be dedicated advocates for the message. They share the common ground of requiring a strong voice for a sure delivery of the material, and an expressive physicality willing to fully embody and serve the message.

Actions: Books L15 Drama 3015 Social Identity and Dramatic Character in Historical Practice 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: In everyday life, we present ourselves in different ways to different people. As we play different roles with family, friends, professors, and classmates, we shape ourselves differently in each context. We are also shaped by roles conditioned by race, gender, sexuality, and class. And the roles that we play and act out on social media add new complexities to the presentation of ourselves in everyday life. Sometimes these roles--perhaps those we share with our closest friends-seem truly authentic. And other times it may feel like we are wearing a mask. We can also consider roles played by other people in the past and across the globe, especially as they are imagined in the characters and roles created by playwrights and performance cultures from ancient Greece to the present day. Each historical theater, even the most "realistic," considers dramatic characters positioned in relationship to other fictional characters, as they play out their respective roles. If there is a servant, there must be a master. If there is a lover, there must be a beloved. If there is a dissident, there must be an authority figure. The character arrangements, or "systems," in theater and performance across space and time provide remarkable insights into the social relationships and social performances in each culture. And we learn that systems of class, race, gender, and sexuality are neither natural nor inevitable. This course examines the roles that dramatic characters play within the "worlds" of the play and performance culture they inhabit. In some cases, we can speak of metaphorical "masks" presented to the world; in others, the theater may use actual masks. We begin with classical antiquity, examining the differentiation of physical masks and characters in both tragedy and comedy (we will note that the word "person" comes from the Latin word "persona," the word for mask in ancient Roman comedy). We then consider the complex system of types in classical Indian and later Kathakali dance-drama: types that each had specific emotions associated with them. Chinese musical theater of the fourteenth century, with strong ties to a rapidly growing urban environment, had its own distinct types. Following this unit we consider the masked characters of Italian Renaissance comedy (the commedia dell'arte) and its uncanny parallels to the nearby Karogöz, Turkish shadow puppet theater. We next move to the theater of Shakespeare, considering the boy actor and gender fluidity in Twelfth Night. Then we consider the "realist" playwright Ibsen, in view of the social roles performed by the play's characters. In Cloud Nine, Carol Churchill gives us insights into the performance of gender in modern life. A unit on modern and contemporary African drama examines the performance (or erasure) of political identity in crisis, as we read Athol Fugard's Sizwe Bansi is Dead and also the play Woza Albert! (Mtwa, Ngema, Simon). The course concludes with two African-American plays, August Wilson's Fences and Lynn Nottage's Sweat. This course fulfills the "Studies in Historical Practice" requirement for Drama majors and minors.

L15 Drama 3153 The Women of Greek Tragedy 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course examines the role of women in Athenian drama. You will read English translations of the works of the three major tragedians, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides, and their near contemporary, the comedian Aristophanes. Direct engagement with ancient texts will encourage you to develop your own interpretations of, and written responses to, the political, social, and ethical manipulation that these mythological women were compelled to endure, and the subtle ways in which they appear to exercise power themselves. Selected scholarly articles and book chapters will help you contextualize these ancient dramas in their culture of origin. Because such issues continue to preoccupy both sexes today, you will see how Greek tragedy addresses perennial historical and cultural concerns through the examination of adaptations of Greek tragedies ranging from Seneca in ancient Rome to Spike Lee's Chi-raq. Your final research paper will encourage you to consider how a specific female character from antiquity is transformed for a 'modern' dramatic audience.

L15 Drama 4224 Acting Styles: Realism to Nonrealism 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course builds on skills in character development and scene study, beginning with psychological realism and then shifting into various forms of nonrealism. Through written analysis and performance, students apply acting techniques that address a variety of playwriting styles. The semester begins with a deepening understanding of psychological realism through the exploration of Anton Chekhov's plays. Focus then shifts to nonrealism with Harold Pinter. The second half of the semester is solidly rooted in nonrealism. Students hone their skills by exploring two more scenes from classical and/or contemporary texts. Additionally, in the final scene, students are encouraged to explore applicable considerations of gender-identity, race, and ethnicity in play and character selection.

While less concerned with the performative aspects of theatrical arts (though these will be introduced via videos), emphasis is placed on the ways in which dramatic texts influenced and borrowed from the literary tradition. Readings are from major theatrical texts, secondary studies on Japanese theater, and literary sources. Undergraduates enroll in the 400-level section; 500-level section is for graduate students only. Fulfills premodern elective for EALC major. Prerequisite: junior level or above or permission of instructor.

Exercises dispel any lingering doctrine that presupposes a certain style of writing. A large part of the class centers around collaborations. The writers write scenes as a final project for an acting class, and also work with two professional actors in an extended writing project that culminates in a script-in-hand presentation. The informal moments between collaborations look at the process beyond the first draft -- i.e., the playground of language, non-verbal options, and the maintaining of "the work" through rewrites, readings, workshops, and productions.

L15 Drama 4996 Race, Memory, and Performance 3.0 Units Details Save  Cancel   My Note:   Description: This course takes as its starting point the vexing questions of history, memory, and identity that activists, scholars, artists, and others have posed in recent years. What is to be done with the commemorative landscape of monuments and memorials? How do we account for the silences and erasures in archival records? How should histories of racial violence be commemorated? These are questions that have been taken up in many arenas of civic life, including public art, "living history" tourism, museum studies, and urban planning. They have also been taken up by theater artists and performance artists who use their bodies, narrative, historical fact and, sometimes, fiction to bear witness to the past and to imagine new futures. In this course, we will examine the role of theater and performance in constituting-and challenging-the historically contingent meanings of "race;" we will also explore how performance of history shapes national narratives. Artists to be explored might include Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Mary Kathryn Nagle, Dread Scott, Quiara Alegria Hudes, Simone Leigh, and Heidi Schreck. Artistic and/or performance experience is not required. Students will have the opportunity to propose their own commemorative projects; together we will explore whether and how performances of the past can do a certain kind of reparative work necessary for a more equitable future.
