    Description

    THE 101 Introduction to Theater
    3 Credits (3 Lecture 0 Lab 0 Shop)
    3 Hr/Wk (3 Hr. Lecture) *15 weeks
    This course introduces students to theater as a collaborative, multi-disciplinary art form. It examines the nature of theater, its origins, its position in our culture and the basic elements that come together in modern theater practice: performance, directing, design and playwriting. The course will also give students guiding principles for viewing and responding to the theater they see. Students can expect to participate in theater exercises to learn about performance, to read plays, to do small design projects, and to see at least one professional theater production. A research project with a partner will culminate with in-class performances. There may be modest expense for tickets. No previous theater experience necessary.
