Undergraduate

Performance Hour

Thank you for joining The Department of Communication for a digital performance hour highlighting the work of our exceptional undergraduate students.

The five performances you will see in this video represent work from Dr. Patrick McElearney’s SPC: 4930: Health and Performance course as well as Dr. Colin Whitworth’s ORI 4931: Performance and Video. Ranging from the oral interpretation of literature to embodied engagement with mediated texts, these performances offer a small sampling of the work created by undergraduate students in performance studies courses during the Fall 2021 semester.
