31-3810 Solo Performance I

This course requires that students use various writing exercises to experiment with generating their own written material, whether it be autobiographical, character driven, or a literary adaptation. They will learn how to present their personal work in monologue form with the focus on culminating in one five minute solo performance piece, to be presented during Performance Week. Students will also be exposed to the work of various contemporary solo performance artists. There will be some journal writing as well as weekly writing assignments.
