CAM-UY 2304 Disability & Theatre4 Credits
Disability and Theatre reveals the desires, hopes and goals of people considered atypical. Through close reading of plays involving disability, you will not only better understand the restrictions placed on those living differently, highlighting the importance of inclusive design, assistive technology, and patience, but also become familiar with acting technique and play construction. Under the guidance of the instructor, you will adopt themes from our plays to write your own scenes and inner monologues. You will learn that a bent body is not a malformed mind; that mental illness can be lived with; that hard of hearing provides membership in a culture.
