Description:

Toni Dorfman. htba (0) An independent study should generally conform to the standards and procedures of the senior project, thst 491a or b, even when not undertaken by a senior. If the independent study is a performance or directing project, the adviser visits rehearsals and performances at the mutual convenience of adviser and student. The project must be accompanied by an essay of about 15 pages, worth about half the final grade. Although the paper's requirements vary with the project and its adviser, it must be more than a rehearsal log. The paper typically engages interpretative and performance issues as revealed in other productions of the work (if they exist). The writing should be concomitant with rehearsal, to enable each to inform the other, and a draft must be presented to, and commented on by, the adviser at least a week before-not after-the final performance. The final version of the paper, incorporating adjustments and reflections, should be turned in to the adviser no later than 10 days after the performance closes, and no later than the last day of reading period. An essay project entails substantial reading, at least four meetings with the adviser, and a paper or papers totaling at least 20 pages. A playwriting project normally requires 20 new script pages every two weeks of the term and regular meetings with the adviser. A final draft of the entire script is the culmination of the term's work. Application forms are available from the director of undergraduate studies. Juniors may use one term of these courses to prepare for their senior projects. Open to juniors and seniors. Prerequisites: thst 210a and one seminar
