THEA 4350 - History of Theatre I Three credit hours.
This course is a historical survey of theatrical practices within a global framework from the 6th Century BCE through the 16th Century CE. Representative plays are considered, but the primary emphasis is on the cultures, concerns, persons and groups, production mechanisms, sites, aesthetics and conventions, and the functions of theatre in specific historical contexts. Attention is also paid to the various processes of preservation, adaptation, and appropriation which arise as “theatre” expands and develops within increasingly globalized contexts.
Prerequisites: Junior or Senior standing or permission of instructor.
