Dance Your Dissertation

An idea whose time has come. (Josh and Christopher, I think this is a worthy successor to the NCA "Repetition" panel. . . . Perhaps "Dance that Theorist"? I could do Adorno, wearing black, not moving, while playing something by Anton Webern in the background.

This sounds like a delightful idea.

Actually, Aric Putnam was telling me he and Christopher hatched a new "panel" idea: "NCA: The Musical!" We'll need the help of our performance studies friends to pull it off; certainly we can work in a dance of our papers.

I wonder if I can find multiple copies of "Sing Your Way to Better Speech" somewhere.

Apparently we have it. Shall I check it out for you, or do you wish to ILL the puppy?

but i think fred antczak's RHETORIC HOME COMPANION, composed at UVa in the mid1980s, would be a superlative text to produce and perform at the next RSA....
