Theater on the Move: Getting Acquainted with the City from within Theater Advanced Spanish Language & Culture Program Fall 2019 Semester - Seville

This Course aims to provide key guidelines by which to get to know, and to learn how to love, Theater, as well as Culture in a broad sense. In this case, the stage setting is the city of Sevilla itself with all that it may entail in human, environmental, and ethnographic terms. Although having done Theater already is not a pre-requisite, what would be valued positively is the way in which students are motivated by actual involvement in Theater and also by wanderlust. This is a theoretical-practical Course in which, simultaneously, we experience the city of Sevilla, as well as the phenomenon of Theater itself, both as observers and spectators, and as actors and citizens. The Course will also include a series of walk-abouts within the city, attendance at several theater performances of different kinds, as well as encounters with professional companies, or with people who are in charge of performance spaces. Finally a play will be created that explores the experience of living in Sevilla.
