The blues structure, the many musical luminaries, the poetry of the lyrics, contemporary jazz music and social justice all play a part and inform the idiom. The most important ingredient is the storytelling of the individual maker. Explore the range of aesthetics and create your own embodied jazz poem through this intense block course experience.

Notes: This course will approach the field of contemporary drama through the work of women playwrights, with particular attention to plays from the 1990s to the present. Play readings will encompass a variety of forms (e.g., comedy, tragedy, the history play, the theatre history play) and topics (e.g., women¿s rights, war, sexual violence, climate change). Through this approach, students will gain an in-depth understanding of key concerns and dramaturgical strategies of a range of women playwrights, as well as insight into the wider field of contemporary drama. Course readings may include plays by April De Angelis, Margaret Atwood, Chantal Bilodeau, Marina Carr, Caryl Churchill, Marie Clements, Linda Griffiths, Sarah Kane, Lisa Loomer, Colleen Murphy, Lynn Nottage, Suzan-Lori Parks, Anusree Roy, Sarah Ruhl, Djanet Sears, Judith Thompson, and Paula Vogel, among others, as well as related theoretical and critical texts.

Notes: Contemporary Women Playwrights. As campaigns for gender parity such as 50/50 in 2020 (US) and Equity in Theatre (Canada) make clear, women remain under-represented in twenty-first-century theatre. At the same time, recent global 'women's marches' in response to Donald Trump's inauguration and social media awareness-campaigns such as #BeenRapedNeverReported make clear that feminism is far from 'post' in the new millennium and is in fact highly visible and current. This seminar will look at playwriting by women from the 1990s to the present, identifying some of the key concerns and theatrical/dramaturgical strategies that distinguish their work. Course readings may include plays by Caryl Churchill, Marie Clements, Sarah Kane, Lucy Kirkwood, Young Jean Lee, Lara Foot Newton, Madeleine George, Hannah Moscovitch, Colleen Murphy, Lynn Nottage, Suzan-Lori Parks, Anusree Roy, Djanet Sears, Sarah Ruhl, and Judith Thompson among others, as well as related theoretical and critical texts.

Notes: Romantic Opera. This course presents an overview of selected operas and ideas concerning opera during the period from 1830 to 1914, the period of time during which Romantic opera established itself as today's operatic canon. The course offers an historical and analytical account of selected operas from the Italian, French, German, and Russian traditions, focusing especially on works composed between 1850 and 1900, the most fertile years in terms of the composition of today's major repertory works. Operas by Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, Wagner, Bizet, Massenet, Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, and Puccini will be discussed. The course will involve listening, history, analysis, as well as term paper assignments.
