Browse Hierarchy DRA307: Feeling It: Emotion and Sensation in the Theatre

Back to AR-ENDR-DRAM: Department of Drama
Who feels what in which theatre? From theories of catharsis in tragic theatre to the predicament of the spectator in postmodern performance, this module takes a critical, historical and theoretical look at how emotion and sensation have been experienced in the theatre and relate practices, which could include live art, video and film. We will work with records, documents and memories of performance, to consider what it might mean to feel real feelings and sense real sensations in relation to events and experiences that we may not think of as being real. Theoretical texts about performance and emotion will be examined in relation to historical accounts and contemporary experiences of performances. We will investigate what different cultures and traditions understand by emotion, and what different kinds of theatre and performance imagine they are doing with people's feelings.
