THEA 302 - Non-Literary Theater: 1960 to the Present


Semester Offered: First Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3HU

Utilizing videotape excerpts from legendary productions, this course traces the evolution of ‘non-literary’ theater in America from the 1960’s to the 21st Century. The semester will begin by examining the ‘Theater of the Body’ in the work of The Living Theatre and The Open Theatre.  We will then move on to the more ‘painterly’ theater pieces of Robert Wilson, and conclude with recent works by Stelarc and The Wooster Group in which the actor/audience relationship is complicated by technological ‘mediation.’ Enrollment Limit: 20.
Instructor: R. Copeland
