COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
What should the student be able to do as a result of taking this course? State some of the objectives in terms of
specific, measurable student accomplishments.
1. Communicate a literary work through effective use of vocal delivery, gesture, and
movement.
2. Analyze a literary work using several different approaches (dramatistic, modal,
rhetorical, biographical, reader response) and construct a performance based on
conclusions reached through analysis.
3. Imagine and then create a specific relationship with the audience one is attempting to
reach.
4. Master a repertoire of vocal and physical warm-ups.
COURSE CONTENT
Themes: What themes, if any, are threaded throughout the learning experiences in this course?
1. Intertextuality--filtering the experience of the literature through one's own life in a
manner that an audience can relate to.
2. Universality--recognizing the universal elements inherent in good literature of all styles
and genres.
Concepts: What concepts do students need to understand to demonstrate course outcomes?
Communicative power of non-language vocality and kinesics.
Spatial relationships and their importance in a performance situation.
Issues: What primary issues or problems, if any, must students understand to achieve course outcomes (including
such issues as gender, diversity, multi-culturalism, and class)?
1. Distinction between literature as text and literature as performance art.
2. Developing a broad range of characterization--developing a comfort with expanding
one's range of characterizations beyond one's own gender, race, etc.
3. Translation of literary analysis into effective performance choices.
Skills: What skills must students master to demonstrate course outcomes?
1. Dramatistic and modal analysis.
2. A variety of vocal timbres and a clear sense of one's registral and dynamic range.
3. A repertoire of physical gestures and body movements.
4. The ability to use spatial relationships with the audience effectively in one's stage
movements.
5. The ability to prepare an audience for one's presentation and then structure the
presentation (begin, build, and end effectively).
REPRESENTATIVE LEARNING ACTIVITIES
What will students be doing (e.g., listening to lectures, participating in discussions and/or group activities, attending
a field trip)? Relate the activities directly to the Course Learning Outcomes.
1. Participating in exercises for expanding vocal and physical responsiveness.
2. Participating in theatre games (role playing games, stock physical acting techniques)
for expanding imaginative responses to literature.
3. Participating in activities tailored to realizing specific genres of literature in
performance (i.e., analyzing goals, intents, and activities of characters in drama,
discovering the identity of a generalized third person narrator and his/her purpose for
telling a story in prose, identifying the characteristic rhythmic and imagistic language of a
poem).
