AREL 845 - Women and Theatre: Playwriting Their Lives3 credits
Women have long claimed the stage for telling their stories and embodying their personal responses to the world around them. Like Hrosvit of Gandersheim, considered to be the first woman dramatist in the West, a spectrum of women playwrights have brought their own form of Hrosvit’s appellation of “forceful testimony” to the stage. Students may be guided in two directions: students study a variety of writers including those who have been underrepresented as well as others who are now emerging in American theatre. Other material relevant to the playwrights’ lives and to the context from which they write may also be studied. Secondly, through in-class writing development, the students may move toward the theatrical telling of individual stories and have the opportunity to script a short dramatic piece.
