Details
Part 1: Thursday, August 22, 2024 from 3:00 – 4:30 pm (PST)
Part 2: Friday, August 23, 2024 from 10:00 – 11:30 am (PST)
Students will explore how the classics of drama enhance the performance of human experience in contemporary media. The seminar will engage closely with two sets of comparable scenes.
On Day 1, students will analyze a scene from Ibsen’s "A Doll’s House" in comparison with a scene from the television sitcom "Seinfeld."
On Day 2, a monologue from Chekhov’s "The Cherry Orchard" will be compared to a scene from "Star Trek: Voyager" that shows a persistent pattern of dramatic handling of time within crisis moments. On both days, the group will probe the value of theatre history in relationship to the making of popular culture through textual analysis and acting practice.
The target audience will be students in the arts and popular culture.
