Programa (na língua de ensino) | Course description (in language of instruction)

How do you read a dramatic text? What are the dramaturgical rules the reader needs to be familiar with and make use of so that the text becomes a play? How do you write a dramatic text? What, again, are the dramaturgical rules that will help us do so and envisage in what stage context and in what situation the text will be spoken? Through exploring examples of Western Anglophone theatre, the principal aim of this course will be to deal with the issues these questions raise in the most practical way possible.

 

 

Avaliação (na língua de ensino) | Grading and Assessment (in language of instruction)

Essay on an extract from a play: 20%; Play written in a group: 30%; Presentation (not performance) / Discussion of your group play: 20%; Participation: 30%

 Your assignments and participation can be in English or Portuguese.

If you have any problems during the semester with deadlines or coming to class, let me know as soon as possible. With deadlines especially, I must know BEFORE the date. AFTERWARDS is no use whatsoever. In other words, I’m tough on deadlines. If you don’t hand something in on time with no previous valid explanation, I won’t accept it and you’ll get zero for that assignment. Do I kid thee? I kid thee not.

 

 

Bibliografia (selection) | Readings (selection)

A course book with photocopied texts selected and prepared by the instructor will be made available at the beginning of the academic year.
