8 points + First semester + Clayton

Synopsis This subject involves comparative analyses of contemporary drama and theatre from Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. The focus is on texts and performance traditions that respond to the experience of colonisation, and that involve issues of race, gender and identity. Special emphasis will be given to indigenous theatre, ritual, carnival, and popular culture forms. Workshops will involve practical exploration of different approaches and texts. For further details see the entry for ENH2100 in the Department of English.
