Spring Semester 2002
Dr. Jacqueline Long
Staged Readings
Goals
- To collaborate in a creative endeavor complementing course work
- To experiment with performance of Classical tragedy
- To share your insights with your classmates through performance
- To reflect on the processes of insight, performance, and Classical
tragedy, in light of a specific, shared creative experience
- To have fun doing it
For the performance:
Members of the performance team, jointly in consultation with one another
- select section(s) of the work you have agreed to present, that
- represent aspects of the work as a whole you consider interesting and
important
- you can perform in class, with available resources, within 15-20 minutes
of class time
- decide what members of the group will do to perform your selections, so
as to bring out their interesting and important aspects and engage us all in
an entertaining and illuminating experience (my, but professors get to
sounding pompous sometimes, don't we? sorry)
- execute your plans
To hand in, at the class meeting of the performance:
Each member of the performance team, individually, type up a 1-2 page
performance note explaining briefly
- what significant aspects of the whole work the section(s) you selected
represent, and why they seemed significant
- how your performance has been designed to display and experiment with
these elements
Thanks!
