This unit provides an overview of key developments in theatre and performance from ritual and ancient Greece through to contemporary post-dramatic theatre. Students study creative moments and movements alongside examples of performance and select dramatic texts. These are explored in relation to their original socio-political contexts, and their relevance to and impact on contemporary performance practice.
