Course Description

The course re-embeds great dramatic texts in history, theory, and philosophy of performance. We counterpoint Plato's Symposium on Eros with the performative tradition of the Persian love lyric, and continue to develop fruitful comparisons across a range of international works and thinkers. Course incorporates two live TAPS and Shakes productions, audiovisual works and films, and students' own creative ventures.
