TAPS 354D: The Chorus & The Digital Crowd: Representing Groups from Ancient Greece to the Arab Spring (TAPS 154D)

The Chorus & The Digital Crowd is an interdisciplinary workshop in Theater, Visual and Digital Arts, where students will learn from, and collaborate with, professional artists in a dramatic and conceptual exploration of what it means to be a "chorus" from its early representations in Greek Tragedy to its emerging online character (tweeting, posting, liking, and sharing). Reckoning with the reemergence of the crowd in the public sphere, enabled and reinforced by its online counterpart, The Chorus & The Crowd will examine how we imagine and represent collective action. Whether in the same room, at the same website, or on the same planet, what happens when "I" becomes "we"?

TAPS 358L: The Ethics of Storytelling: The Autobiographical Monologue in Theory, in Practice, and in the World (ETHICSOC 201R, TAPS 158L)

Recently a theatrical monologuist gained notoriety when it was revealed that key aspects of one of his "autobiographical" stories had been fabricated. In this class another autobiographical monologuist -- who has himself lied many times in his theater pieces, without ever getting caught -- will examine the ethics of telling our life stories onstage. Does theatrical "truth" trump factual truth? We will interrogate several autobiographical works, and then -- through autobiographical pieces created in class -- we will interrogate ourselves.
