From ancient bardic poetry, through the long history of drama, to contemporary cinema, television and online videos, much of the world’s literature has been designed for performance. Even prose fiction originally published in books or magazines has often been performed (for instance, in the authors’ tours popular during the 19th century), and of course is frequently adapted for the stage or films. This course will examine the opportunities and constraints that writers, producers and filmmakers encounter when developing work intended for performance. By closely comparing works of various types from many traditions, students will learn how to assess differences in works constructed to be performed rather than read privately, how works are transformed when translated from one medium to another, and how awareness of practical issues arising in performance can strengthen our critical understanding of a given work.
