THR 275 The Dangerous Stage: Performance as Revolution

Informed by the work of Augusto Boal and his theatre of the oppressed crusade, this course explores the ways in which theatre has historically been used to advance political and social change.  A sampling of radical plays from various moments of recent American socio-political upheaval will be studied.  Forms for creating theatre for political change will be read or viewed and examined. The course will culminate in an experiential learning activity in which then students will create and perform their own, original theatre pieces.
