About this course
An investigation into the dynamic and embodied live communication common to both theatre and law. Students read plays written about foundational cases involving actual trial transcripts, and probe the ways in which these cases have influenced society. Additionally, students write and perform short plays based on actual court cases. Persuasive argument and the courtroom itself are investigated as enactments of theatre and performance (examining the courtroom in terms of costume, roles, design, power dynamics, etc.).The minimum technological requirements for fully online sections of this course are a working camera and microphone. Students are expected to turn on cameras and microphones at their instructor's request.
