Jan. 8th, 2008 05:34 pmMy History of Theatre and Drama class scares me.
It's not the 50 billion pages we have to read, but we're going to preform a Shakespeare play in the way that the actors then would have learned it.
And I have to go buy more books for the class. I need a specific copy of Macbeth, and a different translation of Poetics.
He's also sent out an email asking on whether or not a great majority of the class really wants to take the class, as it's marked as a junior/senior level class for theatre and drama majors. With a vague pre-requite of Introduction to Theatre, Script Analysis and Acting I. This email was the first I heard of such things, but communication is not the university's strong point, of course.
The cavet to the email was that "serious interest in theatre and drama and the previously-acquired skills needed to understand the material" would be sufficient. I do like theatre, though not enough to specificallythrow myself under the bus and go for a degree in theatre design major in it.
Also, I do have a very helter-skelter bits of experience as an actor, a scene designer, and as a lighting tech, and in one memorable occasion all in the same musical, but I'm unsure of whether that's enough.
