The entertainment industries (EI) target young people for their tremendous market force and cultural sway. How do the imperatives of market-driven media culture correspond with principles of democracy? This course will engage dialogue, reading, research, and writing oriented towards mapping the matrix between youth, the entertainment industries, and the play of democracy. How do we make sense of and become active agents in the politics, representations, political economy, and utopian possibilities of culture and the industries that have become its purveyors?

This is an intermediate video production/theory course for students interested in exploring a wide range of approaches to narrative, documentary and experimental videomaking. Students will gain experience in production and postproduction techniques and will learn to think about and look critically at the moving and still image. The class will concentrate on the development of individual approaches to directing, performance, text, sound and image.

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.
