Freshman Seminary 36i
Reading Theater Politically
ACLS New Faculty Fellow, Professor Andreea Marculescu uses Pre-Texts as the principle for her Freshman Seminar, Reading Theater Politically.
“Freshman Seminar 36i Reading Theater Politically takes direct inspiration from some principles of Pre-Texts. Students will use art (painting, collage, acting, dancing) to explore the civic potential of theater as a political medium that shapes societal considerations about gender, race, nationality. As part of their assignments, students design strategies to think how theater can reach and impact their own community and those in which consumption of theater in any form is less frequent. That is why, using various forms of art, students will design posters, costumes, masks for each play we study in this class.”
