A Seminar in Honor of Bert States
Facilitator: Alice Rayner (Stanford University)

Focused on the work of the late UCSB Professor Bert States, this seminar will read and discuss key essays by this leading figure in dramatic theory. States wrote seven major books, ranging from Irony and Drama (1972) to Seeing in the Dark (1997). Alice Rayner, a former student of States’ and currently the Chair of Drama at Stanford University, will select texts from States’ oeuvre for participants to read in advance. Rayner, whose own scholarship is on the phenomenology of theatre, is the author of To Act, To Do, To Perform (Michigan).
