The theatre generates highly subjective and personal responses. For the purposes of your study and our discussion, consider yourself an expert on your own opinion. In part your work in this course involves finding support for your views, or allowing the material you encounter to change your mind. This course will challenge you to support your position with arguments and evidence, and to trust yourself enough to expand on your own ideas. By the same token, remain open to the opinions and arguments of your classmates and myself.
Every class is a unique gathering of diverse backgrounds and personalities.
If at any time during the semester you wish to ask me any questions about the course, discuss any of the issues raised in class, or talk about your work, please feel free to call me or ask for an appointment. I check my e-mail frequently, and this can be a most convenient way to communicate with me. If you find yourself interested in theatre or fine arts, I'd be more than happy to answer your questions or direct you to another faculty member who can help.
