I will be checking in with you and you will be checking in with yourselves. Be adventurous! Don't like your alter? This is an opportunity to change him/her/them/it/etc. Keep a record of everything you do, I will want to see it.
Due April 8:
Prepare your work for presentation for critique. You are to select one element of the research you have been doing over the past few weeks to deepen and refine into work that you will present for critique. You will present this more concentrated work alongside any other collateral information you desire. For example, you may choose to select one video to show from your alter's youtube channel, but you will still want to show us the range of what you've been up to. Perhaps your alter has been writing. You may choose to perform a selection of those works live, but also show us the blog where your alter's writing has been hanging out.
You may choose any medium or platform to present your work. Anticipate 5-10 minutes to present/experience you work, followed by 5-10 minute conversation about your work (expect 15 mins MAX per person). Consider performing live, though this is not a requirement.
Please upload works you will be presenting to the server. Please email me any links to online content.
Critiques begin April 8.
Reminder:
Due April 15:
Notes:
Be sure to check blackboard for an updated syllabus for the second half of the semester (the previous version omitted one week!). Our last class meeting will be on Wednesday, April 29th, time TBD. As always, be in touch with questions or issues.

Critiques begin April 8.
Reminder:
Due April 15:
Screen Persona (1966) directed by Ingmar Bergman (viewable on hulu.com as part of the Criterion Collection) and read Persona by Susan Sontag (on blackboard). Do these both on your own time, and write a response to the following prompt:
Susan Sontag introduces “doubling” as one of the major themes of this film. In your own words, how does Bergman use doubling as a cinematic device? To what ends? Be sure to address the structure, characters, and visuals. This is not a book report or movie summary; so be bold. Offer your own critical analysis and ideas. Write three well constructed and thoughtful paragraphs. Support all opinions with concrete examples. Feel free to reference any other material introduced in class or other relevant examples. Bring a printed hard copy to class to turn in.
