This course focuses on the role of the writer in the performance process. It explores the features of different genres and styles of performance--from naturalistic playscript to multimedia performance and film. It examines ways in which the different performance media--eg. live, radio, film, novels--affect the performance writer's work. Students explore these issues through researching and examining samples of performance writing of others as well as through developing their own original work.
