MOVING TEXT; PAGE, SCREEN AND STAGE

Credit points: 15
Subject outline
This subject takes an interdisciplinary approach to the adaptation of stories between the literary arts, theatre, cinema and virtual media. How do stories change when they move from stage to screen, from book page to web page, from live performance to YouTube? Is the book always better than the film? How do stories move us? Students will analyse ways in which storytellers use existing stories: to challenge, re-brand, or re-examine texts from a different point of view. The subject will evaluate the dynamic and contested relationships between the source text and its adaptations. Students will have practical opportunities to create their own adaptations and discover new ways of thinking about and creating stories across different media.
