* Read Shakespeare’s The Tempest
* Read Black Elk as told to Neihardt in Black Elk Speaks on “vision” and performance, 177-212 (in the 1979 version). The version on OCRA is expanded and the page numbers may be different. In that case read chapters 15 through 18 (with emphasis on 15 and 18).
*Leanne Simpson, Dancing on our Turtle's Back, chapter 2 and chapter 5.
Reading Response:
1. Are there differences between Prospero’s approach to “visions”(what is that approach) and Black Elk’s (what is that approach)?
2. Does Leanne Simpson offer a performance theory that resonates with any of the other material we have read across the semester?
3. Starting in your response with thinking between Shakespeare and Simpson, use this last reading response to think back across the semester and pull out threads that have been meaningful to you.
4. Or, devise your own question based on the readings, articulate it, and then answer it.
