Overview of class

In this class, we will utilize a variety of research methods as springboards for creating original solo works. We will study examples of plays, monologues, and auteur TV that provide various entry points of solo performance. Through written exercises, meditations and field assignments we will then create solo performances of our own.

Learning Objectives

Students will explore character, voice and modes of storytelling in order to build a solo performance of their own.
