History has been the key to unlocking more sphere of life and that key is this course I just took that has helped me travelled round the world without leaving the four walls of Nigeria! Thank you Coursera for this awesome experience

Thanks for the opportunity to study in this way.

The course is incredibly relevant for me and my PhD work.

*please check the references after module 5))

I enjoyed the course. I have been a Theatre Educator since 1997, and it was nice to get a different perspective on the art.

I simply Loved this course! It was great to see how theater moved around the world and mixed different cultures together.

This course was very unique and interesting

The “Peer-graded” system is UNREASONABLE since the classmates may not follow the standard to score.

For example, in my assignment in Module 4, a classmate rated my work 'failed' with a comment that I should post a link. However, the fact is, there are more than two or three links in my content. It seems like he rated it without reading it! This makes me have to resubmit the absolute same content again and wait til another person gives a fair score, or I wouldn't be qualified to receive the 'completion' of this course.

Tells you how theatre developed over time and how, even though it seems like some of the forms are dying due to lack of interest, they are actually all doing fine.

It was great to have the opportunity to take part in the course and thanks to Coursera , LMU and Mr. Balme for making it possible. Specially enjoyed the research using old newspaper archives. And also for bringing up the people behind the scene in the theatre history, to the forefornt. Somehow, there was not much information about the history in the South american region. May be this can be added to make the course look more global.

This course was not only totally satisfying for me as an instructor in theatre arts, it provided me with elements for further study in the history of theatre in my part of the world. I was able to discover the name, whereabouts, and current building and usage of the first formal theatre building in British Guiana, now Guyana. Thank you. Thank you.

this course is thought provoking and insightful, as a student of film, cinema, theatres and how these important moment of history and of time shaped the world across communities and cultures, this course is inevitable for you to stay up to date. Hence i am tempted to give it nothing less than a 5 star rating

Thank you very much for such a wonderful course on Theatre. Many a times it happens that we dont know how the theatre has progressed in its earlier stage and how has it reached us in the 21st century. This course was very helpful in knowing the past of Theatre.

I had a very enjoyable first experience. Or thanks for all your hard work. Your valuable classes help a lot in the process of personal development. This help shows its value more for those interested in countries with restrictions. thank you

Interesting and challenging material which provokes reflection on the past and future of world theatre traditions and how migration, modernity and connectivity influences the development and evolution of the arts over time and space.

This course is the perfect mix of history and Theatre Education. It broadened my views of both and I truly enjoyed the primary sources and assignments given to apply the learning to a local theatre in our own regions.

What a wonderful course! Great lectures, including many with guest expert speakers from around the globe. I enjoyed every minute of this class and hope there are more like it to come. Highest recommendation.

Informative , succinct and relevant. Presented in a easy going fashion, it's a course well worth studying for those wishing to understand the historical and current relevance of theatre as a global medium.

Thank you for this inspiring course! It is nice to combine the discussion of theatre history and the context of globalisation, which also allows me to observe some cross-cultural theatre practice.

Good course interesting aspects of theater , it's importance in a culture economically and in the exchange of experience between different cultures; also historical aspects of theater.

I loved this course ! It gave me a new prospective on how theater has spread across the world and how artists have passed their own traditions across cultural and political borders.

Highy recommended this course to people who is interested in theater related business. Videos, materials and resources provided have high quality.

It was a nice experience and journey to know all about theatres! It's so new to me, and it inspires me to know more about it

Amazing contents, make you see theatre under a new perspective. It provided new hints for my future studies.

Ausgezeichnet! Thank you Professor Balme for a fascinating perspective on the eveolution of modern theater.

great course, learned a lot from this simple course.

covered a lot of interesting ideas about theatre

What I like the most is how it connects history and digital evolution. Is super interesting.
