Creating Solo Performance ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

In this course, the student will develop, design, and present a solo performance work. Starting with a preferred medium such as memoir writing, choreography, photography, music, sound, etc., the student will develop a solo piece while incorporating additional elements. Materials, processes, and practices will be explored that are relevant to student’s project. The history of performance will be investigated to provide a frame of reference for the student's own work. We will consider how solo performance may be used to explore social, political, and cultural issues. The course will culminate in an informal presentation of the student's solo work-in-progress. Prior to taking this course, students should have a background in one or more art disciplines.
