Focuses on techniques used to create ethnodrama and documentary theatre scripts composed from interview transcripts, field notes, journal entries, and/or print and media artifacts. Through readings, literature reviews, data collection and analysis, performance of data, and construction of scripts, students gain skills to create ethnodrama and documentary theatre scripts. Perspectives on the aesthetics, ethics, limitations, and challenges associated with the forms are also explored. Coursework is informed by the mission and work of the Verbatim Performance Lab.
