DUE TONIGHT 9/21 by 10pm est

In this discussion, you will reflect on your experience with a performing arts work and the different ways that creative work impacts your relationship, as well as society’s relationship, with the topic it portrays. The performing arts work you choose can be a work you’ve participated in such as a play, a vocal or musical performance, spoken word, stand-up comedy, a magic show, public speaking, professional wrestling, a flash mob or other dance performance, gymnastics, and so forth. You may also choose a performing arts work you’ve experienced in person, on television, or in a video.

Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial post as well as in your response discussion posts.

Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates.

For your initial post, address the following:

1. Describe the performing arts work you chose.
2. Describe the topic(s) the work portrayed.
3. Describe your experience with this work.
   1. Summarize examples within the work that caused you to feel empathy.
