CEEL 0909 - Unlocking the Writer’s Voice: Personal History and Solo Performance

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Solo performance is a popular and distinctly contemporary theatrical form; variations of the solo can be found on Broadway, in stand-up comedy clubs, on TV, and in the experimental downtown New York theatre scene. Artists use solo performance as a means of relating personal stories in an intimate way, and the ability to tell one's story, orally and in writing, is a vital and powerful skill. This workshop seeks to develop students’ skills in narrative construction, public speaking, and written expression to impart the tools necessary for them to tell their own stories effectively. It also provides a rigorous challenge to the aspiring actor.
