What is the importance of
History/Theory/Criticism/Literature in SETC?
This
interest area is committed to the scholarly exploration
of the issues that revolve around any and every theatre
presentation, primarily those related to the meaning
of the event. The scholar as well as the director,
author, performer and/or designer provide contexts
- historical, cultural, philosophical - in which the
discourse between the spectator and the theatrical
event creates memory and meaning, whether agreed upon
or contested. This area insists that meaning is an
ongoing process that continues well after the event
has passed and that through this area, we can continue
to connect with the rich and varied theatrical past.
