The historical study of dance as an embodied art form supports an intersectional examination of how gender, race, ethnicity, and class experiences both reflect and shape individual and collective identities. We will read seminal texts in dance and cultural studies, analyze dance videos and live performances, and write short papers that critically consider an array of theatrical dance forms and traditions.
Frequency: Every other year.
THDA 217 - Gender and Race Theory in Performance
This course introduces students to debates, methods, and conceptual frameworks in race and gender, as represented in performance. It engages students in an interdisciplinary exploration of key terms--such as corporeality, embodiment, intersectionality, and performativity--that remain central to the fields of gender and sexuality, critical race theory, and performance. Through drafts and revisions of written work, critical dialogues and oral presentations in small groups, peer feedback, and analytical reading, students will engage in questions around identity formation, structural inequality, and the politics of citizenship.
Frequency: Occasionally.
Cross-Listed as: WGSS 217
THDA 220 - Voice in Performance
Students will work to discover their own voice in this class. Habits that have formed in the body will be worked on to free the voice and allow for its true potential to exist. Breathing and relaxation exercises, and developing a sense of body awareness and presence will all be a part of the journey of the class. Improvisation and games will be used as tools to help define openness, balance and creativity, strength and vulnerability. Students will consult various books and memorize a number of texts. Students are asked to write responses to readings, a report on a book of the instructor's choice, a report on a Macalester theater production, and a review of one professional play. A large part of a student's grade depends on the thoroughness and rigor of their work, as well as how much they develop and improve their skills throughout the semester. Students are expected to attend and participate in all classes and to complete all assignments. There is one required book for the class, The Actor Speaks, by Patsy Rodenburg.
Frequency: Offered occasionally.
THDA 221 - Dance Composition
This course is the study and discipline of dance-making. Students learn the tools of the choreographer - time, space, energy - and how they can be shaped to give the body expressive power. The course focuses on the relationships between form, content, and technique. Students choreograph short studies, improvise, discuss, and view dance on film and in live performance. The course values risk-taking and collaboration in a supportive, shared space. Students in this class will work with those in THDA 255 - Lighting Design in a collaborative dance project that will culminate in public performances in the Theater and Dance Department Huber-Seikaly Theater.

THDA 222 - Contemporary Ensemble Choreography
In this introductory studio course, students learn the art of contemporary dance-making with an emphasis on ensemble work. In the role of choreographer, students learn how to convey movement to dancers, as well as evoke movement from them. In an atmosphere of play, we explore a range of approaches to choreography, while analyzing the styles and choreographic structures of post-modern and contemporary choreographers. We explore site-specific work, and give special emphasis to the integration of music as well as design elements including set, costume, and lighting. We inquire about what defines dance and what are choreographic forms that speak to the needs of our time.
Frequency: Fall semester only.
Prerequisite(s): THDA 31 or coursework in a dance technique; or permission of instructor. Students with dance experience prior to Macalester are encouraged to contact the instructor for permission to enroll.
THDA 225 - Technologies of Performance II
This course will undertake the process of technical design; the challenges and problems one must overcome in bringing a visual design to full realization. We live in a performance world greatly influenced by film and spectacle; and these influences create great technical challenges. This course will expand and develop specific technical areas introduced in Technologies of Performance. These areas will include: stage rigging, structural design, metal fabrication and stage automation and control.
Frequency: Alternate spring semesters.
Prerequisite(s): THDA 125
THDA 230 - The Art of Play: Action, Invention, and Chaos
Making theatre is a messy business; in this studio course, we will explore physical comedy, the haphazard world of the clown, masks, improvisation, games, and object manipulation. The goal of the course is to encourage curiosity, and to engage the student as creator, designer, and performer-we will invent everything ourselves by learning how to play with skill. In short: there are no scripts, no lines and no stage directions. Our training will include basic acrobatics, balancing, and juggling. The instructor draws inspiration from the work of French stage actor and movement coach Jacques Lecoq.
Frequency: Every spring.
THDA 232 - Crafting the Tangible
As our society shifts away from a human connection to the tangible, this course seeks to reconnect the student to the tangible object. Our focus will be on the process of "thinking through making." Through a series of project based learning opportunities, students will develop a deeper understanding of themselves, the process of "critical making," and current performance production technologies. Department provides course materials.
THDA 235 - Fundamentals of Scenography
Scenography is the creation of imagined spaces for performance. In this course we will study the fundamentals of scenography holistically, including scenic, lighting, costume, and sound design.

This course is a prerequisite for intermediate and advanced design courses in Theater and Dance. Department provides course materials.
Frequency: Every fall.
THDA 242 - Playwriting
In this course, students engage in a series of playwriting exercises and read a wide variety of plays. They will read new and contemporary plays that employ different storytelling techniques (i.e., structure, character arcs, staging elements, etc.), embrace the unlimited possibilities of theatricality, and exemplify why we write for the stage. Students will develop a "playwriting toolkit" as they explore their artistic interests following the conventions of time-bound pieces: the 1-minute, 5-minute, 10-minute, and ultimately one-act form. In-class exercises and prompts, and small-group workshopping and reading will challenge each writer's individual development. A midterm and final play reading series of one-acts will allow students to hear their work in a supportive public setting. May be repeated for credit.
Cross-Listed as: ENGL 285
THDA 247 - Stage and Event Management

Frequency: Alternate fall semesters.
THDA 250 - Experiential Anatomy and the Mind Body Connection
The study of anatomy and somatics provide concrete pathways to deepening our understanding of self and the mind-body connection. We will study the musculoskeletal human anatomy on both a theoretical and practical level. Countering the notion that the body is an assemblage of parts to be trained, strengthened, and disciplined, we will delve into various mind-body practices that illuminate anatomy from a first-person perspective. We will focus on experiential learning including embodied anatomy and movement practices that provide direct knowledge of anatomy and alignment while providing opportunities for an integrated experience from within and increased self-awareness. In-class work will be supplemented by readings, journaling, physical practice, writing and research.
Frequency: Every year.
THDA 255 - Lighting Design
This course is an introduction to performance lighting design. While emphasis is on performance, the principles can be applied to film, television, and environmental settings. The course focus will be on the design process, but there will be some attention to lighting hardware and technologies as well. A primary goal of the course is to make the student more aware of color and light around them every day. Department provides course materials.
Frequency: Every year.
THDA 267 - A Historical Journey from Greek theater to the Restoration
This course explores the four significant periods of theater history (Classical, Medieval, Renaissance, and Restoration) through learning about the historical context, the design and architectural elements, the plays that defined the time and the playwrights who wrote them. Students will engage with script analysis of the plays through staged readings.
Frequency: Alternate years.
Cross-Listed as: HIST 247
THDA 285 - Costume Design
Students in this class will engage with costume design as both generative and collaborative artists. They will learn to conceptualize costumes for theater and dance productions drawing from a multitude of inspirations including the fine arts, costume/fashion history, music, literature, film, opera, and textiles. Class meetings will include discussions about readings and visual literacy, as well as hands-on exploration of a real-world design process including research, drawing and painting renderings, budgeting, fittings, and oral presentations of designs. Students will engage with both traditional and devised methods of developing characters and silhouettes to develop their unique vision for theatrical and dance productions. There will be 1-2 field trips to visit key resource locations for costume designers.
Frequency: Every year.
THDA 287 - Creative Technologies: Tools of Performance Design
Today's theatre artist has many tools at their fingertips to create the environments for performance. In this course students will develop skills in Adobe Creative Suite, QLab and Isadora. A final project of the student's design will demonstrate use of one or more of these technologies in creating performance.
Prerequisite(s): Permission of instructor
THDA 294 - Topics Course
Varies by semester. Consult the department or class schedule for current listing.
THDA 325 - Labor and Class and the Theater
Join the conversations around class and the development of the labor movement in the US from the late 1800s to the present day through the lens of the theater and the people who worked in it. We will ask how the economic and political landscape shaped their working conditions, and how the arts themselves then shaped that same landscape. We will engage with this great conversation through 8-9 plays on power, labor and class struggle and analyze them in their context both as pieces of theatrical entertainment and political statements. Throughout the semester, students will also research parallel developments in other parts of the world and will present a research and analysis paper comparing and contrasting their findings with the material presented in class.
Frequency: Alternate spring semesters.
Cross-Listed as: AMST 325.
THDA 345 - Performance Histories and Theories
By examining key movements in dance and theater history from the late 19th century to the present, this seminar explores the active relationship between theoretical thought and aesthetic innovation on stage. Through close readings of primary, secondary, and critical texts, the course highlights the ways in which dance and theater advanced movement by movement, each "ism" a reaction to what came before, and how the transformation from historical avant-garde to experimental contemporary performance represents dynamic and cumulative ruptures with the mainstream. Ultimately, they shape how we imagine, see, and create dance and theater today. Students' work in this seminar will culminate in an individual critical writing project. Required for Theatre and Dance majors.
Frequency: Spring semester.
Prerequisite(s): Preference given to Theater and Dance major and/or minors.
THDA 350 - Directing for the Stage
This course prepares advanced theater students to direct public performances, and thus focuses on the acquisition of skills such as text analysis, dynamic storytelling, stage composition, and communication (with designers, actors, stage managers, and production team). Students will choose a scene from a play proposed by the instructor, research style and aesthetic, run auditions, cast the scene, facilitate a rehearsal process, and stage a live performance. They will also learn best collaborative practices, since the class unfolds in conversation with the Acting Approaches course (THDA360) and culminates in public performances at the James A. Williams Theater.
THDA 360 - Acting Approaches
In the different editions of this course, students have an opportunity to approach the acting method of theater masters, as well as acting styles and genres. This is arguably the greatest challenge for any actor. Through monologues and scenes from Shakespeare plays, students will learn to mine the text, understand the historical context in which he wrote the plays, develop voice and speech techniques, and gain acting skills to effectively bring his iconic characters to life. May be repeated for credit.
THDA 375 - Set Design
The course explores scenic design in traditional theatrical buildings and alternative sites. Students will learn how to bridge script analysis and visual research, deepen their knowledge of spatial composition, acquire drafting skills, and practice design conceptualization with reference to historical and contemporary practices. The course outcome is a design portfolio, the collection of the various course projects each student will create during the semester. Department provides course materials.
THDA 385 - Intermediate Playwriting
This course-a mixture of lecture, discussion, study of dramatic texts, writing exercises and in-class analysis of student writing-is intended to reinforce and build upon the skills developed in Playwriting. Topics will include dramatic structure, conflict, characterization, language/dialogue, as well as how to analyze your own work, give and receive feedback and techniques for rewriting. Students will engage in a rigorous development process which will culminate in the writing of a one act play.
Frequency: Spring semester
