UCEAP Quarter Units

Course Description
This course takes a critical, historical, and theoretical look at how emotion and sensation have been experienced in the theater. It draws on theoretical and historical texts from Aristotle, Saint Augustine, Diderot, Kierkegaard, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and Lyotard, to consider what it means to feel real feelings and sense real sensations on stage and off. These theoretical texts are examined in relation to historical accounts and contemporary experiences of performances. Students consider how a theater that engages senses other than sight might be both vital and overlooked in a study of theater that is dominated by the visual experience and its reading of signs.

Course Description
Theatrical performance is not a mere imitation, but a very imaginative and creative art. This course focuses on improvisation to inspire the imagination of actors and the expressiveness of body voices. In addition, through the analysis and interpretation of drama texts, and through the discussion of characters, relationships, emotional motivations, and presentation of short scenes in the classroom, students are guided how to discover, construct, and enter their characters in the text. This course is not only an introduction to various performing arts (such as mime, dance, opera, musical, etc.), but also one of the best ways to appreciate dramatic literature.

Course Description
This course explores the role played by satire and satirists in the early 18th century. It examines modes of satire in a variety of genres and forms, including prose fictions, verse, drama, and visual satire. The course traces the genealogy of English Augustan satire and explores the ways in which classical models were imitated and adapted in response to the challenges of an increasingly commercial society. It also examines new forms of satiric writing (such as the periodical essay), the social construction of the satirist, and the question of the gendered status of satire.
