The Construction of Performing Identities: From Person to Persona

– Observe a performer in any genre of performance you may want to choose, and write a report on what idea of their person you have formed from this external observation as a member of the  audience. Then, interview the performer (if this is feasible) once the performance is finished, preferably when they are back in their civil clothes. Note the possible discrepancies you have observed between the two experiences. [this exercice can be combined with the exercices suggested for Chapter 2]
