Communication 390STB - Stories in Motion

This course aims to introduce students to the study of literature by exploring it through the lens of performance studies. In this course, we explore the interplay of literature and performance, by analyzing how texts `come alive? through performance and how performance deepens our understanding of literary works. We will explore different methods for performing texts (poetry, prose, drama), through the lens of performance. By examining literature through the lens of performance studies, students will investigate how both literature and performance serve as dynamic sites for examining culture, identity and the ways individuals and communities express their lived experience.

Open to Communication majors only. COMM 125 or COMM 268
