THTR 366 Devising Performance Events

Students will explore various methods and techniques for creating original performance experiences for specific communities (such as social justice organizations, political advocacy groups, social and health care services, youth organizations).  Students will study the history and current state of devised performance in the United States through readings from performance and historical texts.  Concurrently, students will apply strategies and techniques to in-class and site-specific performance projects.  Throughout the semester, students will attend and analyze professional and community-based devised NYC performances which will serve as case studies to examine the relationships between performance activities and community building.
