Overview
This course offers a critical and decentralised approach to theatre history until the early 20th century. It will introduce students to theatre texts and performance practices across the globe. It will invite students to consider (1) how these texts and performances are situated in their specific historical, cultural and artistic contexts; (2) the affinities and differences, continuities and discontinuities, between theatre practices and traditions across times and cultures; and (3) the different critical tools at our disposal to write about theatre and performance work, and to re/write theatre and performance histories
