Reading Plays guides students in close readings of dramatic literature, in particular of plays that are typically left out of the traditional theatrical canon. This edition of Reading Plays will focus on texts and performances considered “queer” with an emphasis on plays and performances created post-Stonewall and their relationship to queer history. Students will attempt to define several terms as a class and for themselves, in particular the terms “queer,” “queer theater,” and “queer performance.” We will complicate these definitions by posing questions such as, what does queer embodiment illuminate about these plays and performances? What happens if these plays are performed without queer people? For straight audiences? Students will learn about the socio-historical context of each play, and in-class exercises will introduce them to the foundation of script analysis: they will examine the play’s given circumstances, dialogue, dramatic action, characters, and style. While we will be studying theater scripts, you do not need to be a theater expert to enjoy this class. Students will read on average one play per week.

Making theatre is a messy business; in this studio course, we will explore physical comedy, the haphazard world of the clown, masks, improvisation, games, and object manipulation. The goal of the course is to encourage curiosity, and to engage the student as creator, designer, and performer-we will invent everything ourselves by learning how to play with skill. In short: there are no scripts, no lines and no stage directions. Our training will include basic acrobatics, balancing, and juggling. The instructor draws inspiration from the work of French stage actor and movement coach Jacques Lecoq.

In this course, students engage in a series of playwriting exercises and read a wide variety of plays. They will read new and contemporary plays that employ different storytelling techniques (i.e., structure, character arcs, staging elements, etc.), in order to embrace the unlimited possibilities of theatricality, exemplifying why we write for the stage. Students will develop a "playwriting toolkit" as they explore their artistic interests. In-class exercises, prompts, small-group workshopping, and related readings will challenge each writer's individual development. A mid-term check-in and in-class readings of final plays will allow students to hear their work out loud in a supportive public setting. Course may be taken twice for credit.

This course focuses on dance in the United States from the early 20th century to today with attention to how it has interacted with the nation’s cultural transformations. The historical study of dance as an embodied art form inevitably lends itself to an intersectional examination of how gender, race, ethnicity, and class experiences continually reflect and shape individual as well as collective identities. We will examine dance forms that have grown in and outside of concert halls, discuss seminal texts in dance and cultural studies, analyze dance videos and live performances, and write short papers that critically consider the relationship between the histories of American dance and culture over the last century.
