Requirements / organisational issues:
This seminar will introduce you to the basics of drama analysis with a special focus on metadrama and performance. The seminar will cover three complete plays – William Shakespeare's Hamlet, Samuel Beckett's Endgame and Sarah Kane's Crave – as well as additional excerpts and multiple theoretical approaches.
The level of this seminar is aimed at students in the second semester of their BA/BEd. A considerable amount of time will be spent on acquiring academic competences (research, dealing with secondary texts, presenting research results, structuring written texts, etc.) which will lead up to writing your final paper.
Students are expected to prepare primary and secondary texts for each session carefully and additional tasks must be fulfilled by each student during the semester including a small individual research project as well as a group project in preparation of chairing a session once during the semester. The seminar is concluded by a written paper (BEd: 1250 words, BA: 2500 words).
The seminar will be a combination of direct meetings via Big Blue Button and individual (yet synchronous!) work on Moodle all happening during the original time slot on Mondays, 2.15 to 3.45 pm.
Students must purchase their own copies of the plays. Additional texts will be provided via Moodle. Participants are expected to have read Hamlet by the start of the semester.
Recommended reading list:
Shakespeare, William. Hamlet. (e-book available via university library)
Beckett, Samuel. Endgame.
Kane, Sarah. Crave.
