This GE course is an artist-centered look at the history of American drama and theater through the lens of formal innovation in the 20th and 21st centuries. The main objective of this offering of Theater 106 is to re-think the history of American theater, which often excludes many voices from the American experience. The syllabus is arranged to look at both the centers and margins of American theater, and how national traumas are defined through theatrical works.
NOTE: Theater 106 discussion sections meet via live weekly video conferences. Choose the time that works for you when registering. Visit the course website link below for more information about live sections.
Professor Sylvan Oswald is a writer and artist working at the intersection of theater and live art. His language-driven plays, texts, publications and videos unravel narrative forms to explore how we construct our identities. Oswald is a 2019 Guggenheim Fellow in Drama and Performance Art.
