classroom explorations, describe your concept of a collectively devised
work of political theater. To do this you will need to decide the
following: 1) What is my subject matter and why? 2) What am I
attempting to explore or accomplish through the political intervention?
3) What prompts would I give the performers working with me to help
develop materials.? Please briefly describe each of these. Next, take a
moment to share the overall shape of the score that you might
generate. Provide some clear attention to the environment and images
you might create (the sounds, physical appearance and embodiment,
relationship to audience) and make sure to include the specific content
of a couple of moments from the work (similar to what we created in
class). End with a description of what the audience’s experience might
be, focusing on key elements from your creation. You may present this
in a different order (talk about audience experience in the discussion
of the moments, for example) as long as you address all of the issues in
the prompt.2. During this course we have charted a movement in US theater from the days of the melodramatic comedy of manners Fashion
through the advent of realism, the emergence of Expressionism, a
continued deployment of expanded realisms, along with a brief excursion
into the Off-off-Broadway space of the 1960s. In doing so, we have also
engaged with a range of examples from US theater. Choose one of the
following themes: belonging, communication, gender relations, or loss,
and trace the theme of your choice through the works we have studied.
You will need to address a 19th century example (Fashion, The Octoroon or minstrelsy), an expressionist example (Machinal or The Hairy Ape) and an example of realism or expanded realism (Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, A View From the Bridge, Gibraltar, Fences, Vietgone).
You may address more than one example from each category. How does the
theme stay the same between these works and how does it shift to
reflect the aesthetic investments of these works and the time in which
they were created? Make sure you are engaging comparatively and drawing
on specific and concrete examples from each of the works you address.
