Theatre can be rigorously precise where science can be demandingly creative, and from combining the two can arise unexpected, delightful properties. In this course, we will explore “science theatre” through 4 interactive sessions involving: (1) reading and analyzing seminal plays of the genre; (2) staging excerpts and discussing design and production elements; (3) creating and playing drama games exploring scientific principles; and (4) writing and workshopping original scenes based on scientific principles.
Free and open to all members of the Harvard and wider Cambridge community. All course materials will be provided. Enrollment is capped at 16. You can participate in each activity to whichever extent you are comfortable but are encouraged to participate fully. No science- or theatre-related experience is required, although some familiarity with either or both will be useful.
