The Analysis and Performance of Literature
THEA 211 SP

This course engages an active, experiential and experimental approach to the study of literature through performance across a variety of disciplines, cultures, and genres. By performing different kinds of nondramatic literature--poetry, narrative fiction, and nonfiction texts--we will investigate performance as a particularly powerful way of knowing: an embodied knowledge that offers unique insights into the relationship between human experience and literary texts. In the performance community formed in this class, students will be encouraged to simultaneously broaden intellectual horizons, sharpen critical faculties and writing skills, and imaginatively engage literature as a means of developing individual creative process and personal/artistic voice.
