- Workshop in Solo Performance

Catalog description

Workshop in Solo Performance combines the study of solo performance with the exploration of the practice of writing and performing solo performance. Course work includes the discussion and analysis of solo performance texts; the viewing and analysis of recorded solo performances (both documentary records and performances created for the camera); and practical artistic work in dramatic writing and performance. The workshop culminates in both a research project and a creative performance project. Required readings include a variety of forms of solo performance, from early rhapsodic and oral poetry traditions of the Mediterranean world to the modern performances of solo artists.
