R4988: The Road Worth Taking in Splash Spring 2016 (Apr. 09 - 10, 2016)
One of humanity's most notable accomplishments is the ability to compose and understand poetry. However, many give up the joys of poems by not reading them the way they deserve to be read. In this class, we will teach ourselves the ways of approaching poems written by a range of poets, from Auden to Duffy. By the end of the class session we will all leave with a better ability to appreciate the luxury of life that is poetry. It must be said that this class will not be like any traditional English Literature lesson. We will not be deluding ourselves into thinking that by identifying similes and onomatopoeias we can understand the message the poet is trying to convey.

Love acting, silly games, or making people laugh? Hate sticking to a plan? This is the class for you. Making Stuff Up is 105 minutes of nonstop games that introduce the concepts behind improvised theatre and comedy. We will work on characters, stage presence, and teamwork!
