It gives artistic expression to shared values and challenges listeners to embrace them and apply them in a new way in the world today. This course is an introduction to the fundamental techniques and aesthetics of this art form that transcend religious boundaries. Students will be encouraged to apply them within their own religious context. Performance techniques may include oral interpretation of religious texts, oral story-telling, and video production.
