Fireside Chat

Here is a list of reminders related to your upcoming Fireside Chat. Remember media is due to Josh by Thursday at midnight. The performance will be at 6:30pm (new, earlier time) on Thursday Apr. 11th in the Nelke.

• Your media should be thoughtfully selected/created and function to communicate your story and theme. This is not the time to sample crappy stock photos from Google to make a poor power point presentation to accompany your chat. You may use pre-existing images/text/video/audio, but your use of them has to be purposeful and artful.
• You may use images OR video OR audio OR props OR costumes OR whatever media (or combination of multiple media) you think will best serve your chat. It doesn't matter to me, as long as it exemplifies your effort and creativity.
• Your performance should be (more or less) scripted and performed BUT NOT wholly pre-recorded. Part of this experience is for you to tell your story in this space at this time. SO, there must be some performed element and some mediated element.
• Your artist's statement will require you to reflect on the creation and presentation of your chat, as well as your experience listening to and sharing with other students on the night of the performance.

In class on Thursday, we'll discuss the Exercise in Empathy, and continue our discussion of Belief.

Here's a link to This I Believe, if you're in need of some inspiration for your piece.
