    THA 11B: European Theater Texts and Theory II: Romanticism to the Avant Garde

    Instructor: Paul Masters
    Prerequisites: None
    Course Description: Starting in the Nineteenth Century, this course will seek to explore theatre and theatrical practices from Romanticism through Realism and the Avant-Gardes of the Twentieth Century. However, in addition to thinking about, and through, the historical aspects of these traditions, we will also interrogate their reverberations across time and into our contemporary theatrical environment. This will include postcolonial adaptations of plays, representations of hitherto marginalized identities/genders, and contemporary reimaginings of European artistic and theatrical practices. This methodology lends itself to the practical: in what places and spaces do these historical ideas appear now and how? Why? What do we want to keep?
