INQ-177 | Irish and British Theater

Topic Description:

How are cultural values of Ireland and England reflected in their art, specifically through theatre? This on-site course seeks to answer this question through travels between Ireland and England, focusing primarily on the experiences of theatre and art. All levels are welcome: for some it could be an introduction while others will deepen their understanding of theatre and its artistic forms. You will be expected to attend shows and explore the places where we are traveling. We will respond to plays on the page, through some analysis and discussion. Then we will attend performances, after there will be discussion of various aspects (from acting and design to content and the audience experience). The goal of the course is to cultivate your ability to write and speak critically about this art form and the many aspects that go into its production.

Course Types Offered: Travel
