CI-119 SL-Theatre at Work
In this course, students meet community needs by engaging in service-learning outside the classroom. Theatre at Work is an introduction to creative practice using live performance as a problem solving tool in an educational environment. Specifically, students will create a performance piece in response to an issue they have uncovered in collaboration with select groups of students in a host Boston Public School. There will be a special focus on normalizing risk-taking and the learning that comes from false starts and failed ideas. Students will be responsible for creating every aspect of their performance testing its feasibility on a limited budget, ensuring that the content meets established criteria, and successfully implementing and evaluating their success both with their peers and their audience.
Prerequisite
Restricted to students with less than 54 credits. Students with more than 54 credits needing to fulfill their CI requirement should seek approval from the Undergraduate Advising Office.
