(Fall 2018)

01:30 PM to 02:45 PM TR

Section Information for Fall 2018

Telling stories is central to human communication; we narrate our existence, shaping our world through the stories we tell. The focus of this course is on these stories and how they are told: the stories we tell in conversations, to our friends, and about ourselves. We will look at storytelling as a creative act and explore techniques that transform day-to-day stories into performance art.
