• 1. Theatre & Performance Studies (Charles Parrott): Alone Together: Composing Personal Narrative Performance (book project under contract with Routledge, Taylor & Francis)
  • Project Description

    My book project, Alone Together: Composing Personal Narrative Performance, is designed to help students create storytelling projects about their own lives. It is grounded in my experience teaching storytelling for 12 years at KSU and uses anecdotes about student performances to illustrate the concepts in the book. 

    I am looking for a first-year student to help me edit and revise the manuscript. As this book is designed with students in mind, I will look to my first-year student researcher to offer their perspective on the readability and overall utility of the manuscript.

  • Modality (Face-to-Face, Hybrid, Online)
