TAPS 25100 - Adaptation

Institution:

University of Chicago

Subject:

Description:

Prior knowledge of adaptation not required. Working with source material (e.g., poetry, journalism, journals, short stories), this course provides students the opportunity to engage in a variety of adaptation processes through in-class assignments and projects developed independently outside of the class. We generate material that supports traditional narrative theater making, as well as material that pushes the adaptation process into a more physical and metaphoric realm. Questions to be addressed include: What makes a story performative How we can translate story to the stage without using text What tools are needed to transform narrative material into scene Students are asked to bring a short story, epic poem, or other comparable source they are interested in adapting to the first day of class.
