DRAM 419 (3.0 units or .5 credit) Fourth year seminar/studio: Generating Space

This course will consider how defined spaces generate and are generated by drama, theatre and performance. Our study will be divided into four sections:

1. Considering plays which inscribe a defined space as part of their dramaturgy.
2. Considering theatre that takes on site-specificity as integral to performance and dramaturgy.
3. Considering selected theoretical approaches to the study of space as applicable to theatre and performance.
4. Finally, an exploration through experiments bearing on the understanding and expression of performance spaces in an age of virtual spaces.
