In recent decades, there has been an explosion of interest in what is sometimes called 'non-fiction theatre' or 'reality theatre'. Forms such as documentary theatre, verbatim, solo autobiographical shows, lecture performances, and performance ethnography - while they are often very different stylistically - involve negotiating similar dramaturgical, ethical and political questions. In this unit, we will address these issues primarily through practice. You will select a topic of interest, conduct original research, edit transcripts and archival materials into a script, rehearse and perform a short documentary piece. Key theoretical readings and rich case studies will help inform your practice.
