Credits 2
Credit Type
Semester Offered
Not Offered 2024-2025

We will read contemporary and classical examples of French theater with our voices and our bodies, exploring how the text exists in space and time as well as words. We will take these insights and apply them to texts of our own creation, that we will then also read and revise together. This course integrates the practice of improvisation in its use of theater to generate writing, and personal writing to generate theater.
