THEOLOGY ON STAGE

Theology on Stage

In the middle ages, the collaborative practice of playmaking was

integral to the way the church taught scripture to the common man.

Unfortunately, as literacy and availability of Bibles increased, the

necessity for Theatre in the church decreased and the study of scripture

became a more individualized practice. In this class, you'll learn a bit

about the history of sacred Theatre practices and then put knowledge

into practice, engaging with bible stories and poetry through oral

interpretation, improvisation, and collaborative performance. If

interested, there are also two great field trip opportunities to see

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot at UW School of Drama and The Great

Divorce at Taproot Theatre. No previous performance experience

necessary. Class will meet Mondays from 6-7:30 at a location TBA.

 

About the instructor: Sarah Roquemore is the current education intern at

Seattle Repertory Theatre, where she partners with public school

teachers and artists to prove that every subject can be taught better

with Theatre.
