FINDING THE CONTACT POINTS BETWEEN THEATER AND TELEVISION: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY TUTORIAL DESIGN

[...]the projects offered us a model to use for the tutorial in approaching the divergent and convergent areas of our fields. The points of convergence were identified as: -our shared respect for the dramatic anthologies of early television and the influence of the theater on these programs. -our regard for the director-actor relationship. -our emotional connections to the medium we each chose for storytelling. -our individual working styles regarding creative and production processes. -our recognition of the conventions that have evolved in both theater and television and how these facilitate and constrain an artist. -our shared view of creativity and innovation within each medium. [...]they were asked to reexamine the first paper assignment on the associated attitudes list. [...]innovation also often becomes convention.
