DRLIT-UA 35 - Acting Medieval Literature

Institution:

New York University

Subject:

Description:

Presents medieval literature as a set of springboards to performance rather than as a series of "books" to be read. In this strongly performance-oriented course, students approach this "literature" as works that were acted out, sung, and narrated from memory as part of a storytelling tradition. Students are invited to draw on their dramatic and musical skills and interests, and stage medieval works. For their final project, students participate in staging and putting on a play, perform a substantial piece of narrative poetry, sing or play a body of medieval songs, or a similar endeavor.
