Writing to learn
In this fully asynchronous online course, students will learn about the origins of American theater from the 17th century to the present day as well as explore the artists who contributed to its formation, including directors, performers, producers, and playwrights. Students will then build upon this exploration of early American theater and analyze the crisis of racial and gender inequity in the amateur, educational and professional theaters across contemporary America. Students will read and analyze plays, view and analyze theater performance (either live or streamed online) as well as engage with historical and current American theater criticism. This course satisfies either the core Fine Arts requirement OR the core Diversity, Inclusion, and Social Justice requirement; it cannot count for both requirements. This course also satisfies a WAC Writing to Learn requirement. Prerequisite: None.
