This course introduces students to global theatre practices and traditions across different cultural, historical and performance context. The topics consist of a wide-ranging approach to connect contextual developments in theatre: oral, ritual and shamanic cultures, Greek theatre, European Medieval and Renaissance theatre, Asian theatres, twentieth-century theatre, and more recent theatres of decolonization, globalization and interculturalism.

1. Describe key developments in theatrical form, content and function across different performance
   cultures.
2. Discuss key concepts from global theatre.
3. Determine research resources for coursework.
