Course Description
Summary
This class will be a focused study of Spectacle - or writing the impossible play -- in conjunction with a short study of the Poetics. We will investigate how spectacle can be deeply connected to the perception shift (when done correctly). Reading will include a wide breadth of works from Robert LaPage and the Rude Mechs, to B.J. Jenkins and Young Jean Lee.
Work will consist of weekly writing assignments and short papers, and the generation of a play centered around the "spectacular," minimum of 30 minutes long.
