Course Description
This course provides the opportunity for you to engage with the productive strategies and theatrical outcomes of the generations of experimental theater and performance artists since the beginnings of the twentieth century. The focus on artists from a range of disciplinary backgrounds will seek to map out particular trajectories that have questioned theater's purpose, technologies, politics and possibilities. Encompassing a discussion of dramatists, directors and performance artists, the course will seek to examine the creation of forms of theater that redefined audiences understanding of theater and influenced further generations of theater makers. Using dramatic and theatrical texts, manifestos and historical criticism, you will study performative practices across a range of modernist, historic avant-garde and post-modernist modes in determining how these theatrical experimenters have conceived and reconceived representation, renegotiating relations between art and life in their writings and theater-making. Figures for discussion might include a selection of the following: Constantin Stanislavsky, Vsevelod Meyerhold, Anton Chekhov, Antonin Artaud, Jerzy Grotowski, Erwin Piscator, Bertolt Brecht, Eugenio Barba, Augusto Boal, Samuel Beckett, Pina Bausch and Richard Foreman.
