The communication of science is a critical skill for all scientists. Unlike other scientific communication classes which concentrate on the organization and mechanics of how to how to tell a story, in this class we will focus on bringing out one’s unique, individual characteristics in order to reveal their capacity for genuine communication. We will learn acting and improvisation techniques from the Sanford Meisner method and the Upright Citizen’s Brigade to enhance our verbal and non-verbal abilities to communicate science authentically.
This is an experimental course that integrates theatre techniques to improve scientific communication. The seminar (1 credit hour) will involve exploring how we can introduce concepts, processes, and knowledge from the theatre arts and apply them to the effective communication of science. The seminar will require students to immerse themselves in the principles of Method acting and improvisation techniques.
