PIC-301A One: The Tempest

3 Credits

This section of ONE invites students to examine a monumental creative writing work: The Tempest by William Shakespeare. This is hands-on ‘playing’ with his text to explore art making including: Sound art, spoken text, ‘found art’, spell casting, filmmaking, magical realism, race, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, map-making, ethno-mathematics, monsters, architecture, design and acting. Shakespeare has it all! We will see what happens, together, when we make his art our own. ‘ONE’ invites students to examine in depth one work, one ensemble of works or one major project from a thinker/maker that integrates multiple disciplines and ‘languages’ of creative practice. This in-depth investigation will be concurrent with students remaking one of their earlier pieces as well as creating an entirely new project.
