THEA 091. Corporeality in Storytelling

INTP 091 LING 091
We will examine silent narrative in films, in stage plays, in mime, in stand-up comedy, in sign language visual vernacular, and in dance. We will have three foci: the narrator’s entire body as it takes on roles in the story - so complete embodiment of characters; the narrator’s limbs as articulators of communication; and the narrator’s facial gestures as articulators of communication. We will be examining the limitations of each of these foci on conveying factual (that is, truth-conditional) information versus affective information.
Open to INTP seniors and juniors, and other juniors and seniors by approval of instructors.
