This unit addresses performance skills and contemplative listening as well as tools for storytelling from memory. These tools and practices will be identified and explored, drawing on a repertoire of sacred texts and poetry from major religious traditions.
Field work and in-class storytelling are essential. A key assessment task records and reflects on the process of story selection and presentation to an audience in a community context. Attention will be paid to verbal and non-verbal elements, building students’ confidence and capacity to engage their audiences.
Because it is difficult to duplicate these processes of small group rehearsal and reflection we urge you to quarantine the dates and times for the intensive.
