EMOTION IN THEATRE
UCEAP Quarter Units
6.00
UCEAP Semester 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.
