Module Content

Outline Syllabus:
The module will consider forms of spoken word such as rap, hip-hop, storytelling, theatre, and jazz, rock, blues, and folk music and examine the techniques and features of such work (rhyme, repetition, improvisation, and word play). Students will be encouraged to consider collaborations with musicians, digital artists and film makers.  
Module Overview:
This module explores a variety of storytelling forms and traditions and allows development and exploration of story ideas based on historic storytelling forms and tropes. The module sits as a point of contrast to the Screen Cultures module, focussing not on the emergence of contemporary storytelling techniques, but on forms and traditions.
