This course will introduce advanced acting students to the research methods and performance techniques of documentary theater. Student fieldwork will involve the collection and performance of oral histories in the style made popular by Anna Devere Smith. Letters, diaries, and memoirs will also be used as sources for performances. The final project will be a group performance based on documents related to a specific historic event.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
