Solo Performance—Telling My Story
S07
Kirk Jackson
Students develop original and/or sourced material to find its shape and thematic whole in a performance medium that should involve text, movement, characterization and personal examination, and observation. We will view solo performance artists working on both finished and in-the-works pieces. Students write, edit, rewrite, and perform original, memorized material. Class work will be tailored around the specific challenges facing individual participants and will culminate in a final showing of an original solo performance at least 15 minutes in length.
