THEA 340 - Asian Pacific American History in Theatre & Film

Fall or Spring (3) Tanglao-Aguas

This course studies the history of Asians in America in order to recreate or ameliorate it into a work of theatre and/or film. The course thus considers the act of creating original works of theatre and film as historical documents, the creation of which evolves from an artistic process steeped in historiography. Through reading plays and viewing films dramatizing Asian narratives, students evaluate personal manifestations of this history.
