Solo Performance offers students an opportunity to utilize both writing and performance skills as they work toward creating their own original solo performance piece. Students will have an opportunity to both watch and read solo performance work in order to better understand the different styles the form utilizes. Through a series of writing exercises, students will experiment with a variety of storytelling techniques and structures while exploring topics and material they find compelling. Students will then write an original ten minute solo play which they will revise and rehearse. The course will culminate in a public performance of each students’ solo play.
