THEA 001. Fundamentals of Dramaturgy
This course will investigate a tripartite nature of dramaturgy as it is currently regarded and practiced in American theater. Structural dramaturgy: tragedy, comedy, farce, the well-made play, and modern departures thereof. Production dramaturgy: collaborative process, methods and strategies for historical research, note-taking, script editing, and adaptation. Institutional dramaturgy: script evaluation, season planning, mission statements, marketing and audience outreach. Through readings, discussions, writing assignments, and engagement with campus and area productions, students will sidestep the deathless-and deadly-question, “What is a dramaturg?” to focus upon how dramaturgs think and what they do with what they know.
Fulfills a general requirement for all theater majors and minors as well as a counting as a writing-intensive course in the Humanities Division.
