ENGLISH 338 - Oral Literature

Please bring a one-page “thick description” of a performance, time-slice of a performance, or selected aspect of a performance for Friday. We’ll read them aloud.

Your model is Beech. Your aim is to isolate and make evident, palpable some dimension of the performance (audience response, delivery style, framing, etc.) through an analytical description. Aim to replicate the temporal experience on the page (you can be creative).

Use any live or documented performance. There are clips below from Tuesday, and from other sources.

Next week we’ll jointly develop synthesis essays to close out the semester.
