There are two basic goals in theatre education: finding meaning in works of theatre art
through the study and appreciation of theatre as an art form, and constructing meaning in
works of theatre art through the study and skill development of theatre techniques in the
creation of that theatre art. To these concepts this course adds depth as well as breadth
through the study of dramatic unity, comparison and integration of art forms, analysis and
critique of performance, and understanding of context and the effect of history and
culture on character action.
