Multimedia storytelling is a natural state of creativity: nothing and always new. In this course we examine the history and structure of storytelling, from cave art to scrolls to illuminated manuscripts to opera to today’s burgeoning forms of electronic narrative, such as blogs, websites, ebooks, podcasts, serials, social media and the endless category of hybrid (or, "non-category"). As we establish an understanding of storytelling, students develop their own projects in break-out discussion sections. Faculty guests, all working at the forefront of narrative arts, bring field-tested experience to our academic investigation that will help students through their processes. Guest lectures by New School faculty will include: Camonghne Felix, Laura Cronk, Margaret Rhee, Luis Jaramillo, Caron Levis, and Robert Polito.
