Description: This section of PsTL 1312 is part of a learning community paired with PsTL 1204, Ways of Knowing in the Social Sciences, taught by Mike Stebleton. Through international and multi-cultural lenses, students will discover how our collective past and present experiences shape our identities. By combining the arts with the exploration of the social sciences, this community will examine the concepts such as ?place, self, and identity.? This learning community will examine our collective stories and shared experiences by attending live performances, museums, tours, and other experiential activities. No previous training or experience is required, but you will need to be willing to engage in basic performance exercises. You will come out of this course able to communicate more effectively and collaborate with others, essential skills for life. The Washington Street Bridge will be our final performance space, the perfect place to explore and perform questions of identity, community, and culture.

Description: PsTL 1312 is an arts and humanities course that provides you with the opportunity to create, analyze, and understand how the creative process can reveal our cultural identity as an individual and as a community. This particular section of 1312 helps you explore identity and the creative process by focusing on developing an understanding and appreciation of the performing arts (theatre arts, oral interpretation of literature, storytelling/spoken word) from the perspective of critical viewer and creative participant. To that end, however, there is much overlap from other artistic mediums such as creative writing, visual art, dance, and music to infuse and enrich the creative experience as we explore the theme of Identity.
