MAKING SENSE: NEW THEORIES FOR NEW THEATRE AND DANCE
This is an obligatory course in the first semester.
In Postdramatic Theatre, Hans-Thies Lehmann observes that during recent decades Western European theatre has been characterized by a general development away from drama as the means to structure theatrical performance. This is manifested in a number of ways, including: the profound changes in the various ways that theatrical means are deployed to construct performances; increased interdisciplinality; new hybrid forms; and in radical changes in modes of audience address. Lehmann argues that these changes have to be understood in the context of larger cultural historical developments that have altered the ways we experience, think and make meaning.
In this course, we will discuss a series of theoretical approaches and discuss their potential for the new theatre. What kind of answers do these approaches offer for the questions posed by new developments onstage? How do these theoretical approaches relate to Lehmann's perspective? How might they be used to put Lehmann's theories in perspective?
