Learning how to market oneself and one's work is vital to building a successful career as a performing artist. This course uses the Department of Theater's season as the real-life basis to look at marketing in a performing arts context. Students will work as a team with the Department of Theater Public Relations Director to develop and execute marketing strategies, including copy writing, promotional campaigns, working with social media, and unique performance-related outreach.

In this course, students explore ways to promote intercultural understanding. The course culminates in a field trip to New York City in which students help the Japanese community to set up a Edo (eighteenth-century Tokyo)-themed street fair. Toward this end, students learn about the history of Early Modern Japan as well as study how to encourage effective cultural communication.

This course examines the idea of "tragedy," both as a genre and as a mode of cultural expression. On the one hand, much of the time will be focused on considering cinema's reception (i.e., adaptation, appropriation, reworking) of traditional tragedy. This will involve looking at instances of tragic theater--including Greek, Roman, early modern, modern--and at their reincarnation on the screen.
