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!
