Religion & Theater 2.0

Three weeks from today our new semester begins, and with it the new version of Religion & Theater, which I teach with my friend C. Exciting! I've just sent out information about course texts to the students (so they can get used copies and even start reading), and this:

If you have experience with religion, start thinking about aspects which could be understood as performative, dramatic, cathartic or even comic. If you have experience with theater, start to think about aspects which might be interpreted as festive, liturgical, contemplative or even sacramental.
