Writing for Solo Performance

This class is for actors who want to write and act in their own work. The work may be autobiographical or nonautobiographical. The genre may extend itself to music and spoken word. We will work heavily with text and really delve into the characters to make them fully realized in reference to the story that is being told. We will use Jungian and some Greco/Roman myth to get inside the characters and make them understood and universal. The atmosphere is such that students may try anything and experiment.
