This foundational course introduces students to theatre through three integrated pillars: dramaturgy (historical context, critical investigation, theory), performance (acting techniques, creation, embodiment), and production and design (stagecraft and scenography). Designed for both theatre majors seeking essential foundations and students from all disciplines, the course develops critical thinking, artistic research practices, creative problem-solving, and collaborative abilities applicable across fields.
