MCL 312 - THE ART OF ADAPTATION

College of Arts and Sciences

Credit(s): 3

This course introduces students to the theory and practice of adaptation. By studying several famous examples of literary and filmic adaptations, students will examine critically the primary criteria and constraints involved in narrative adaptation. With these examples serving as models, students will produce, in the form of brief stage- and/or screenplays, their own creative adaptations of classic narrative works (stories, tales, myths, folklore, films, etc.).
