Design Methodology

Open to MFA 1 students only.

An exploration of dramatic structures, beginning
with an investigation of Aristotle's Poetics.
Students will discuss and design a play a week
from the Greeks to Heiner Mueller. This class is
taught in conjunction with the play analysis
class which examines each text for its dramatic
structure. The class focuses on the genesis of
the visual context of the text. Students draw
through the text or articulate overall
instinctual responses that are communicated
spatially through models, drawings or other
methods developed by the student.
