Description:

This course examines how theatre art is created to express and communicate actions and their resulting ideas and emotions. We will look at relevant concepts and terminologies of theatre, as well as historical and artistic contexts from which plays arise. The emphasis is on examples of how theatre functions as art which can both entertain and help document and process the human experience.
