Response Paper Assignment #1 (Due Feb 17 in class)

Collage: "an assemblage or occurrence of diverse elements or fragments in unlikely or unexpected juxtaposition." 

For this assignment we would like you to create your own theatrical collage by combining found texts from a play (of your choosing) and a newspaper:

Choose material from both sources and collage/combine/remix/mash-up the language into a new play.  This new "script" can be in the form of a conventional play (characters, dialogue, stage directions, etc.), or a new experimental form of your own  invention. 

Use of word processors, printers, scissors, glue, tape, paint is all fair game. The resulting collage should fit on a single piece of paper.

A note about doing the assignment: consider the meaning of the texts in their original context, and how you transform that meaning by combining them together with your own ideas.
