To collectively explore several texts and ideas, finding as a group, a common theme and story. We will then take these themes and stories and build a production that will stretch everyones dramaturgical, directorial, and performing skills. Using various techniques of well-known theatre artists, we will together find a vocabulary that works for us as a group, and that will help to create a theatrical adventure uniting all the distinct voices in this course.

testing a post
I am trying to learn how to post something on our new blog. I urge you all to try too! -Melia
insecurity friendships devotion need to know stories mysterious eccentric characters is embellishment lying? information/misinformation diagrams layers of misinformation codenames technology voyeur what is detachment? who gets more blurry? betrayal can only happen in you are in love" betrayal is like imagining when the reality isn't good enough" going back to get the 'what if' life..

You are not telling me the story, tell me the story...
I maintain that although limitless perspectives warrant an unknowable truth, the truth of the Event Actual remains as an independent (and perhaps the only) reality. Maybe the closest we can get to the truth is the collection of the widest group of POV's; like with triangulation, if an apple fell to the ground in the middle of a circle of people, if we can avoid fighting about our opinions and simply point to where we think it bounced, we may in fact come close to the independent reality. This, of course, with the assumption that we all want the actual truth of the matter, and that none of us are lying to purposefully distort it...;)
