FYS 1119 - Grp Proc in Interactive Thea

Credits: 4
This course is an investigation into group dynamics within the theatrical process. We will learn and use techniques drawn from dramatic play, sociodrama, transformations play and mythodrama. Students will have the opportunity to work independently, in small groups and in the large group to create and present original work. The first-year edition of the course emphasizes issues concerned with cultural change and personal identity. The transition from high school to college often presents the opportunity and sometimes the necessity to create new roles more appropriate to an adult identity. We will use dramatic processes to explore this dynamic, working playfully, sensitively and thoughtfully.
Offered: Fall only, on demand
