Olin College + Babson College SP2022: Constructing and Performing the Self

2022

Want to Tell a Story? Use Psychology and Acting

Constructing and Performing the Self is an experimental cross-college course that combines psychology and acting to teach the art of storytelling. The final deliverable was a 10-minute one-person narrative play, performed 4 times in front of a total of 240 audience members. This reflection captures the lessons I learned across the creative disciplines of writing, collaborative work, psychology, and acting.
