Based on the belief that theatre requires both artists and audience members to exercise their compassion muscles, this course requires students to listen actively, research carefully and consult widely before setting performance goals for a target audience. Students must determine how best to achieve their goals through theatrical means, then spend the majority of their time in this class exploring and experimenting with different modes of presentation/audience interaction. Students will learn through class exercises, interviews, brainstorming, research, analysis and discussion, rehearsal, and presentation sessions both in and outside of the classroom setting.
