Seattle Campus
Special courses drawn from interdisciplinary groups in the humanities. Content varies.
Class description
Most Americans know major performing-arts organizations only as audience members. Theater, ballet, and opera companies are fascinating worlds of their own. This seminar will look behind the scenes at what it takes to bring great performances to the stage.
We will examine the history of the arts in America, debate their role in our society, and consider how they should be supported. A highlight will be visits to the Seattle Repertory Theatre and Pacific Northwest Ballet to see facilities and talk with staff and artists about their organizations and professions. We will also attend SRT and PNB performances.
