MEDA 246 - Elements of Theatre


Credit(s): 3
Cross-Listed With: COMM 246  
Prerequisite(s): ENGL 111  
Students are taught to appreciate the many elements that come together to create the total theatre experience. Beginning with the cultural impulses toward theatrical expression, through the development of written texts, the spoken word, acting and movement, the use of color, lighting, and the stage space and extending to the aftermath of performance to reviews, students will recognize the multi-dimensional, multi-layered nature of the theatrical event. They will be introduced to the responsibilities of the actor, the director, and the critic in this exploration of theatre production and its all-important audience. Attendances at professional and amateur performances supplement the classroom experience.
