| Description: | This course will explore how the human body communicates character and meaning in various global contexts. With an emphasis on non-Western physical practices such as yoga, we will investigate theater's pre-Greek and non-European origins, as well as how these traditions have evolved over time. We will encounter performance forms from the Middle East (Ta'ziyeh), Asia (Kyogen), and South America (Teatro del Oprimido), as well as performance techniques with non-Western lineages like Suzuki and Rasa. By experimenting with global theatrical traditions, students will also examine how ideas of gender are interpreted and performed in non-Western contexts. Other areas of focus will include tai-chi, mask performance, puppets and other performing objects, clowning, folklore study, and choral movement. This course is appropriate for all students, at all levels, regardless of artistic background. Student-athletes are particularly encouraged to enroll. |
