ALL1390-C First 6 Weeks Thursday 12:00-1:20 Start Date 12-Sep
Grossman 106 Limit 15
This six-week course will allow us to create personal stories from the texts of our own lives. Using theatre games to foster trust and playfulness, we will work to create an atmosphere where vivid and authentic stories can be shared. For the first class, please come prepared to move with loose, comfortable clothes, an open mind and a full heart.
This is an oral storytelling class, but pencils and paper may be useful to write down your reflections.
