THE 470 - Devising Theatre: Radical and Community-Based Performance

3.00 credit hours
This course explores three overlapping subfields in theatre and performance studies: devised theatre (also referred to as collective creation), radical theatre and community-based theatre. The course begins with an exploration of the terms “devised,” “radical” and “community.” The remainder of the course proceeds with a case study model; it examines a variety of ways theatre practitioners have imagined relationships between radicality, community and performance. Students split their time equally between making performance and reading/writing about performance theory.
