Course Description:

Offers a laboratory course designed to integrate concepts and methods of science into the theatre curriculum. Subjects from across the spectrum of the sciences and engineering with particular relevance to the theatre disciplines are used to build quantitative and critical thinking skills and a knowledge base in science and technology. Topics relevant to theatre majors include the wave nature of the voice and other aspects of sound; the science of the voice and vocal production; wave and ray aspects of lights; acoustical properties; and the science of pitch and perception. A sense of the magic and mystery of science is reinforced throughout the course by dramatic demonstrations and hands-on activities.
