3) ? 

Rationale 

With the change in credit hours for Ballet (FPA.225, 226) it becomes 

possible for students to fulfill lower division requirements by taking 

only dance courses. 

?

This was not the original intent of the program.? 

Therefore, in order to insure distribution at lower levels, we are 

requiring one lower level course in the arts outside the Dance area 

among the 30 required hours in FM. 

?

Thus, the total number of lower? 

division credit hours does not change, but the number of specifically 

designated hours is to be increased from 21 to 21 

4

. The other 6 credit 

hours may be chosen from among any other courses in the Centre (including 

ballet courses). 

We have added FPA.140 and 136 to the list of suggested courses in order to 

bring the list current with courses available now within the Centre for 

tjie Arts.

Proposed Calendar Changes for Credit Flours for EPA. 225-2 

and EPA. 226-2

FPA. 226-2 Ballet II 

2)

Proposed Calendar entries: 

FPA. 225-3 Ballet I 

FPA. 226-3 Ballet II 

3) Rationale 

As with the other ballet courses (FPA.125, 126), a theoretical component 

is necessary. ? 

The course currently meets for 6 hours of studio work 

per week and will also include the preparation of a demonstration and a 

. ? theoretical paper. ?

more aDDroDriatelv 3.

Proposed Calendar entry 

FPA.382-3 Aesthetics of Performance 

This course will examine theatre, dance, and film as public arts. 

Relationships of form and meaning among these and other modes of 

performance will be investigated through topics that may vary from 

semester to semester. This course is specifically designed for, 

students in all study areas of the Centre for the Arts. (Lecture/Tutorial) 

Prerequisites: at least 45 semester hours creditor permission of the 

department. 

3)

The content of this--course is also salient for students of visual art 

and music. The prerequisite has been added because this is an upper 

levels course.

Attached is a curricular change proposal for FPA.234-3. 

?

While this is one of 

our academic courses and we would like it to be available to interested students, 

as part of our film minor, we must limit enrollment to a reasonable number. 

The Visual Art major proposal is to follow. Copies are now being made and they 

will be delivered as soon as possible.

Proposed Curricular Change for FPA.234-3 Introduction to Film Studies 

Calendar Description: 

An introduction to the theory of film and its subsystems (genre, narrative, 

structure, semantics). ? 

This course is concerned not so much with individual 

film or techniques, as with the general cinematic capability itself, as 

varyingly theorized since the beginning of the century. ? 

The goal of film theory 

has been to formulate schematic notions of the capacity of the film medium. 

Various theories and theoretical positions will be assessed and compared in 

terms of their related cinematic practice and ideological functions. 

PREREQUISITE:. FPA.136-3 or FPA.137-3. 

Proposed Change: 

PREREQUISITE: FPA.136-3 or FPA.137-3 and permission of the Department. 

A- - - - -

Comparable admission procedures should be used for FPA.234-3 as for Film 

production courses at the same level.

Re: Calendar Change, Centre for the Arts. 

(I.S.C. 81-22) 

At a meeting of the Faculty of Interdisciplinary Studies 

Undergraduate Curriculum Committee held on Tuesday, October 13, 

1981, members of the Committee approved the following calendar 

change: 

FPA. 456-3, Conceptual Approaches To Drama. 

An intensive examination of selected plays by 

a single major author such as Shakespeare, Ibsen, 

Beckett, or Brecht, leading to the development 

and classroom performance of new conceptual 

approaches to the plays. 

Would you please place this item on the next agenda of?

Proposed Calendar Change for FPA.

56-3 Conceptual approaches to Drama 

(.

1)

Present Calendar entry: 

An intensive examination of some plays by Shakespeare leading to the 

development and classroom performance of new conceptual approaches to 

the plays. 

2)

Proposed Calendar entry: 

An intensive examination of selected plays by a single major author such 

as Shakespeare, Ibsen, Beckett, or Brecht, leading to the development 

and classroom performance of new conceptual approaches to the plays. 

3)

Rationale: 

The purpose of this change is to give faculty the option of choosing a 

major author other than Shakespeare for this course. This is desirable 

because students encounter Shakespeare's plays prior to the 400 level 

courses. Shakespearean texts are often used as a resource in acting 

and production courses. The comprehensive study of a major author 

other than Shakespeare will introduce new material to any group already 

having extensive experience with Shakespeare. As students will still 

- ?

undertake an intensive study of a single author, the proposed change will 

(

?

?

add flexibility to the course content without altering the pedagogical 

objective.
