Course ID: | THEA 3290. 3 hours. | Course Title: | Script Analysis | Course Description: | A method for analyzing scripts intended for performance. | Oasis Title: | Script Analysis | Duplicate Credit: | Not open to students with credit in THEA 3291H | Semester Course Offered: | Offered fall and spring semester every year. | Grading System: | A-F (Traditional) |
| Course Objectives: | The course develops a method for script analysis based on the recognition that a
script is essentially a plan or blueprint for the realization of a stage play.
Once the method is developed in class it is applied to a series of plays, each
differing in style and form. In addition to scripts examined in class, students
will do individual written analyses. The scripts for plays that the class then
witnesses are also included. The focus is on dramatic art as practiced on stage,
but some reference is made to screen forms of the drama. Completing the course,
the student should be able to examine the parts of a script with an understanding
of how they contribute to the ultimate play in performance. | Topical Outline: | I. Exploration of a method for script analysis.
II. Application of the method to specific scripts.
III. Relationship between script and play: examination of plays in performance.
IV. Implications for literary and creative endeavors. | Honor Code Reference: | UGA student honor code: "I will be academically honest in all of my academic
work and will not tolerate academic dishonesty of others."
The University of Georgia has a strongly worded statement on academic dishonesty
found in the Student Handbook. The Department of Drama insists that all work
assigned as an individual project be done entirely by the individual to whom the
assignment is made. Joint projects must be accomplished entirely by the group to
whom the project is assigned. If in the judgement of the instructor, the student
violates the above policy, he or she will be reported immediately to the Office
of the Vice President for Instruction. The outcome of such action may result in
the student's suspension, failing the couwse or facing other disciplinary action. | |
