You will write two cultural experience reports this session. You will hand in one during week 4 and the other during week 7. After each cultural experience, write a 500-800 word report about the visit and what you learned. The best papers are evocative of the experience--they describe the place and what it felt like to be there--and include overt references to ideas from the Humn 100 classroom and learning resources, which link the experience to what we are doing in Humn 100.
Instructions For each report, attend one venue from the below list. Attend a different type of venue for your 1st and 2nd report.
art museum or sculpture garden
significant or notable architectural site (if there is explanatory material there to help you understand it)
music concert
theater play
poetry reading or spoken word performance
dance performance
religious service, ceremony or ritual for a religion very different from yours, if you practice (for instance, if you are Christian, you may not go to another Christian denomination's service)
a traditional or culturally specific dining experience
other displays or performances may be acceptable. Check with your instructor for approval beforehand.
Restrictions: The experience should be done in person. If this is impossible, contact the instructor to arrange for alternatives. "Impossible" is usually limited to deployed military who are unable to leave base for safety reasons. In this case, your professor has suggestions for topics available on base. You may not report on a cultural experience from prior to this class.
Each report should include the following information. Include photos or links that help convey the information. As always, be sure to document all sources you consult in preparing your work.
Name and location of the museum, site, or performance event. If there is on-line information about the site or performance, include a link.
Type of museum, site or event. For example, is it a portrait museum, a poetry slam, an outdoor Shakespeare festival performance? If you attended a performance, name the performer or the piece. Be specific about what you attended, when, and where.
Briefly describe the general setting.
Describe at least one aspect of the experience that you found especially interesting. For example, you might write about a particular work of art, cultural artifact, song, dance section, scene in a play, costumes or lighting, a particular actor or vocalist, etc. Explain what impressed you, and why. Your reaction can be positive or negative, as long as you offer an explanation.
