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 "non-dramatic" literature--poetry, narrative fiction, and non-fiction 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 fo rmed 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.
Unless preregistered students attend the first class meeting or communicate directly with the instructor prior to the first class, they will be dropped from the class list. NOTE: Students must still submit a completed Drop/Add form to the Registrar's Office.
