Stories and storytelling are ubiquitous in society. It seems to be one of the basic communicative, rutual and celebrational activities of humans.
The course offers a critical introduction in storytelling studies. How, when and why do people tell stories? How to study storytelling?
This course also researches writing practices in screenwriting (film, tv, games) and theatre. It studies the genetic trajectory of texts that transform from one medium to another. These transformations are considered as organic processes that are influenced by and through many factors.
Topics will vary from one year to the other, also depending on the guest speakers.
This course is an active research seminar. Attendance and active participation is obligatory.
Each year speciallists (scholars and artists) share their experience and discuss with the students. If possible they also work with the students in hands on excerices.
Examples: 2019-2020: Hans Van Nuffel (writer/director on storytelling for film and for games with writing exercices); Kurt Vanhoutte (Univ Antwerp on Science as performance); Esther Severi (Dramaturg Kaaitheater on dramaturgy as process); Fanny Van Exaerde (Univ. Lille on the genetic study of screenwriting processes).
2020-2021: Jason Mittell, Middlebury College, US; Adil El Arbi, filmmaker, B-USA); Saddie Choua (multimedial artist, B), Lars Elleström (Linnaeus Univ, SE); Alexandra Saemmer (Univ. Paris 8, F); Christel Stalpaert (UGent, B), Kurt Vanhoutte et al (demonstration games as teaching environment).
