PLACEMENT IN THIS COURSE REQUIRES APPROVAL BY THE DEPARTMENT CHAIR/IB COORDINATOR.
This multi-faceted theater-making course emphasizes the importance of working both individually and collaboratively as part of an ensemble and offers the opportunity to engage in the creative process, transforming ideas and research into action. Students have the opportunity to experience theater as creators, designers, directors, and performers.
The syllabus comprises three interrelated areas: theater in context, theater in process, and theater presentation. Students at the standard level and, by recommendation, higher level, complete a director’s notebook, chronicling ideas on the staging of a specific play; a research presentation, outlining and physically demonstrating the research into a convention of a theater tradition; and a collaborative theater project.
