I am putting together a series of guest posts on this topic and want to get some immediate feedback about what might be useful for people to read about. I have done work with Writing faculty on using performance-related activities in the classroom to help urge reticent students to participate. For instance, I’ve encouraged professors to use images or clips that show people reading/performing texts to start discussion because it gets students away from strict textual analysis and prompts them to draw on their opinions in discussion. But, I’m hoping that my colleagues in theatre have more innovative ways of thinking about these three topics in conversation. Any initial thoughts? Anything people want to hear about specifically so that I can search out posts on that topic?
