Advanced Study in theatre History, is designed to provide students with a framework in which to deeply explore significant styles, periods, eras, and conflicts in the history of the theatre. Primary and secondary source readings will help to guide class discussions and student presentations, facilitating a deep synchronic understanding of historical issues. Regardless of topic, the seminar is intended to focus on intense intellectual and critical scrutiny of specific topics in a seminar setting.
Syllabi representing possible course topics are included with this proposal; however, the course is designated with the intention that a wide range of topics will be represented, and that a wide range of faculty across the divisions may use the course to respond to research and curricular needs. Along with the sample of syllabi submitted, topics could include Design History, History of Acting Theory, History of Latin American Theatre and Performance, and specific histories in greater depth than the survey courses can provide. Graduate-level requirements include presentation of conference style papers in a symposium environment at the end of the term.
