TELE 251 Video for Comedians and Performers

This course is designed as an introductory course in the creative, aesthetic and deeply personal nature of performance. Students will learn simple technical skills necessary to produce performance & video art. Students will plan, produce, and perform their personal bodies of art in a physical and digital manner. Students will work solo or collaboratively on performance and video as an art form and document their projects. Students will be encouraged and assisted in expressing their artistic voice and exploring storytelling using new methods of performance, studio art, music, theater, dance and other art mediums. Students will be expected to perform live in class, both their own and others’ material, in a nontraditional, newly creative manner. The uses of research, academic writing and both theoretical and personal discussion will be employed to create and produce the student’s body of work. This course will use critical verbal critique to discuss the student’s artwork.
