THEATRE 2000 - Dramaturgy Project Proposal: "Antigone" (Sophocles Version)

For the project, read "Antigone" by Sophocles (trans. Wertenbaker), research its production history as well as information relating to the playwright. The project should also include a brief critical analysis of the play within its cultural and/or socio-political context, as well as aesthetic concerns. The goal is to showcase an understanding of the play and a willingness to explore possible interpretations that would be useful to a director, designer, or actor in mounting a stage production of it. Your research should include images that you think are evocative of the play, its characters, and/or period in which the play is set. You will turn in a PowerPoint presentation with a minimum of 7 slides and a maximum of 12 slides, followed by End Notes and a Bibliography. (These latter two components are not part of your presentation slide count.) Bibliography should be a least three sources and not open source like Wikipedia. All images (including images that you created) should be captioned or otherwise credited on the slide where they appear, or in the notes corresponding to that slide. It is inadequate to cite “Google images." In addition, quoted or paraphrased words/ideas must be cited/credited on the slide (or in the end notes corresponding to that slide) where the quoted/paraphrased content appears AND your final slide(s) must be a Bibliography detailing works cited. (You do not need to repeat the sources for your images.) Attached are a sample presentation like this and a three sources that you must use. Also, a guidebook to introduce you to the assignment and for a better understanding of the subject.
