Why I love my major

Of the four questions you will be given two. Respond to one with a well crafted thesis and essay. You may use one page of notes, front and back.

-Compare and contrast Kabuki and Cycle play acting and the actors' relationship with the audience. What can we learn from their similarities and differences?

-Define Noh performance's yugan and Indian rasa from the Natyasastra. What's the closet correlate to these in contemporary Western performance? How are these correlates not the same as yugan and rasa?

-Compare and contrast the Quem quaeritis and Cycle Plays. How are they both perfromances of devotion? What performancs today are similar? Explain.

-Compare and contrast Morality and Cycle Plays. Provide historical context for each performance practice.



The first is my favorite.
