Course Description

Summary

Students develop original and/or primary source material and explore its shape, arc, and thematic whole in a performance medium that can involve text, movement, characterization, personal examination, and observation. Generating and receiving constructive feedback, with sensitivity to process, is an essential aspect of the work. Students write, edit, rewrite multiple drafts and perform original memorized material. Class work will be tailored around the specific challenges facing individual participants and will culminate in a public showing of an original solo performance piece approximately ten minutes in length.
