THDA 110 - Introduction to the Study of Performance

This is a survey course that welcomes majors and non-majors alike. Students are exposed to a variety of modern contemporary dance and theatre pieces, screenings, plays, essays, and criticism to explore the intersections of performance and identity from a historical perspective. Assignments include attending screenings and/or performances; script analyses and close readings; individual research; short written projects and a final paper. This course is typically reserved for returning students and not open to incoming first-years. Students can not receive credit for both 110 and THDA 105. Every spring. (4 Credits)
