  	Notes: This course explores performance in movies and videogames from an artistic, historical, and cultural perspective. Epic performances in film are examined in relation to techniques and aesthetics of famed acting coaches and dramaturgs such as Stanislavsky, Hagen, Meisner, and Boal. Videogame characters are studied in terms of persona development, myth and the hero¿s journey, interactive narrative including audience/author distance, and semiotic representations and ideologies. Lectures, screenings, and gameplay sessions illustrate these practices and principles through a variety of film and videogame styles and genres.
