| | | | Outline | | Notes: Students who plan to take both DRAM 365 and DRAM 367 during the spring 2018 term are asked to contact scpa@ucalgary.ca for registration permissions.
In this experiential, hands on learning class, we will explore full mask, half mask and clown, then develop characters to rove at the Children's International Theatre Festival. From there, we will delve into shadow theatre and puppetry. We will then adapt a children's book and present it to the on campus daycare. **Please make sure you are also registered for Drama 367** | |

| | Jacqueline Russell | | Outline | | Notes: Students who plan to take both DRAM 365 and DRAM 367 during the spring 2018 term are asked to contact scpa@ucalgary.ca for registration permissions.
In this experiential, hands on learning class, we continue the work started in Drama 365 by looking at taboo topics in theatre for young audiences such as learning differences, sexual orientation, depression, birds and the bees, etc. Students create short plays by adapting children's books that explore these themes. Our final project is learning how to incorporate curriculum topics into a play. Students research an animal/conservation topic and create an inclusive, physical theatre style play to be performed outdoors at the Calgary Zoo. | |

|
| LEC 2 | MW 09:00 - 11:45
| | | | Outline | | Notes: This course examines popular musics of the late 1970s up until the present time. In particular, this course will examine the rise of rap and hip-hop culture through the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and the current decade in which it has overtaken rock music as the best selling genre/style worldwide. | |
| MUSI 402.7 - Topics in Popular Music (Film Music) | | |
|
| LEC 1 | MW 12:30 - 15:15
| | | | Outline | | Notes: Music in contemporary film today represents the most important point of contact for many people with the great symphonic musical traditions that underpin Western musical culture and also (for good and bad) serves as a primary point of contact for the music and culture of non-Western peoples. Films are also filled with popular music, and the intersection of music and image does important work in creating our image of ourselves as a people, giving us common references that are essential for a vibrant culture. The great irony of film music is that, for a long time and still in many cases, film scores were designed to be almost unheard. Music slips in and out of the narrative, usually without drawing our attention. It is for this reason that the early film composers were much maligned by their art music contemporaries. Even now, when the scholarly study of film music is relatively common, many people simply do not hear the wonderful things going on in the score. Therefore, we will begin by re-learning how to listen to film, how to hear what in places has been artfully concealed. Our focus will be on the music of Hollywood film, since its richness could never be exhausted by a single course. If you have interests in European cinema, Bollywood or other filmic traditions, you will get some exposure to them in this course and hopefully will feel inspired to look and listen to these films in a new and rewarding way. | |
| MUSI 403.1 - Topics in World Music (World Hand Drumming) | | |
|
| LEC 1 | MW 13:00 - 15:45
| | Rod Squance | | Outline | | Notes: This course is designed to investigate the drumming traditions of several of the world¿s cultures. Students will develop an understanding of musical structure, style, the differing cultures¿ aesthetic viewpoints, and the music's function and context within those diverse societies. By playing various hand drums students will develop drumming skills and will become familiar with the rhythms and techniques of selected drumming traditions including African, Arabic, Brazilian, Cuban, Indian, Japanese and Middle Eastern traditions. Thus the course will be primarily academic - as cultural context and rhythm theory are examined, with a practical component: playing hand drums and learning to play the drums and the rhythms. As this course has no prerequisite, the material taught will be accessible to students with no musical training or coursework. | | LEC 2 | MW 18:00 - 20:45
