Oral Interpretation of Texts
Lectures interprétatives à haute voix / Oral Interpretation of Texts
In all literatures and in French Literature in particular, many texts can be compared to musical scores, and become alive when read orally. Preparatory warm up activities will help us reflect on the "music" that one can put on words. We will learn how to interpret orally texts chosen from a small anthology ranging from the Middle Ages to today's literature. Some of these will be presented in a public performance during the summer.
In addition to a course pack to be purchased at the College bookstore, students will need to buy the following works: Molière: Don Juan; Jean Tardieu: La Comédie du langage (Folio Gallimard n°1861)
