[Candrama] THPERF 366 - Writing for Performance instruction

[Janelle Rainville]

The Theatre and Performance program at the University of Waterloo is searching for an instructor for our Writing for Performance course (THPERF 366) which will be offered in the fall term.  This is a course for upper-year students to explore techniques for analyzing, interpreting, and creating texts for theatre and performance. Currently, this is the only course we offer that serves students who want to write plays; so, part of this course should include the basics of play writing.

  *   Developing the syllabus, based on the learning outcomes supplied by the program.
