8 ENGL 235 READINGS IN THE DRAMA MULTICULTURAL STATEMENT The study of drama lends itself naturally to a multicultural approach. It explores human motivation, behavior, thought, and, especially, action, in a direct and compelling manner. Students come face to face with the conflicts, joys, pains, and sorrows that define the universal human experience. Whether the play deals with tribal rites in Nigeria, the musings of a Danish prince, or the conflicts of a homosexual prisoner in South America, our response is to the universality of its truths. At the same time, by investigating a broad range of dramatic literatures, from the time of early Greek tragedy to the present, students are exposed to diverse human experiences, values, and assumptions. So, by reading, listening to, watching, and even participating in live and taped dramatic performances, students directly experience the passions that both unite human beings and define their uniqueness. In fact, the more directly the students confront the conflicts and emotions that define the plays through acting out scenes, doing oral interpretations or writing drams in a variety of voices and from diverse points of view the more conscious they become of true-to-life problems and perspectives of others. This means not just talking about diversity, but feeling it whether that relates to race, class, culture, gender, or any other distinctive style or view of the world.
