THEA 3201

This course is an organic and practical extension of the work in the second-year level courses THEA 2901 (Dramaturgy: The Art of Developing Plays) and 2902 (Play Analysis for Directors). It assumes that you already understand the basic principles of text analysis for performance. The class content is structured so that it covers all aspects of a typical rehearsal process, including advice on how to interact with actors, designers, and stage technicians. As much of the work as possible will be hands-on and will lead to several practical projects, at least one of which will ideally also be presented to the public.
