Transfers ToCSUDescriptionThis course will explore and examine the role and impact of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning community in the theatre. By analyzing the genealogy of LGBTQ+ Theatre and Performance across political, social, and theatrical contexts, the course will cover how the works reflected society at given moments in history. While surveying the homophobic, racist, and sexist attitudes of systemic societal behavior and reactions, the course will shed light on the evolution towards inclusion, acceptance, and understanding. From archetypes vs stereotypes, to gender politics and sexual identities, to `coming out' and the AIDS crisis, to mainstream assimilation and audience representation, the course will utilize dramatic literature, performance, and other multi-media resources.
