Supporting Communication through Performance

Take a class that will change your life

CSD 240: Supporting Communication through Performance was first introduced in Spring 2017 as CSD 497: Special Topics.

The course brings together students from three different academic colleges, as well as Lifelink PSU, to:

• Learn improvisation, dance and drumming from professionals in each field;
• Create performance numbers for each of these forms;
• Examine how these forms can be used to teach specific academic and communication skills;
• Participate in a grand end-of-semester public performance and reflection on what you learned; and,
• Have fun while learning!

Faculty

The course is co-taught by Krista Wilkinson, professor of communication sciences and disorders, College of Health and Human Development and Michele Dunleavy, associate professor of dance, School of Theatre.
