This week: Steiner events Mon, Wed, Thur -- See schedule in post below

Wed: Steiner class visit -- read about him and his work through the links listed in post below and come prepared to have some discussion with him on Wed.

Blog: for Friday on Steiner's work, whatever you want to say about it from the performances or the links/info you read; be thoughtful and put some time into this; some of you have been slacking some on the blog posts, and these are worth 10 points every week!

Blog: if you haven't done last week's blog assignment on Baraka and Shange, see assignment in post below and do that asap. Also, spend some time reading each others' as they are posted and as you have time. We have had some breaks from meeting in class, and so I'd like to see some effort put into these out-of-class assignments/activities before we run out of time this semester. And I don't want to have to remind you and give extra time every week.

Next Week, Project 3: 
For project 3, think  about incorporating anything we've talked about so far (use of sound, dialogue, choreography, voice, stage direction/narration/explanation of performance aspects in the text) into a 15 minute presentation/performance of the text/work. At this point you should be thinking about the relation between your text and its performance, and ways in which you might note/explain/show this relationship on the page. Think of the text and the performance as at once the same and totally different; as each a kind of hybrid form of the other. How can the text and its performance exist simultaneously in concert, and also completely separately on their own terms?

Project 3 presentation schedule:

3/19: Emily C., Miranda
3/21: Kay, Matt M., Emily R.
3/26: Jonah, Melissa, Matt C.

*if you'd like to do yours on a different day, and someone else is willing to trade, that is fine as long as you let me know.
