Joseph Campbell tells us that if you look closely at all cultures you find the story of “The Hero's Journey”, the vehicle for my thesis project, a devised theatre piece titled A Thousand Faces: Everyday Heroes. Though the subject of A Thousand Faces is the exploration of “The Hero's Journey” the foundation of the work is the application of the pedagogical principles of Ritual Poetic Drama Within the African Continuum (RPDWAC) as outlined in the practices of my mentor Dr. Tawnya Pettiford-Wates, Assistant Professor of Performance at Virginia Commonwealth University Theatre (VCU). I apply RPDWAC pedagogical principles to Archetypes for the Actor/Singer (AFAS), a training methodology developed by Frankie Armstrong and another of my mentors, Professor of Voice and Speech and Head of Performance at VCU Theatre, Janet B. Rodgers. This paper outlines the process and performance of a class that combined these methodologies. 2010-05-05T07:00:00Z text application/pdf http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/2113 http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3112&context=etd © The Author Theses and Dissertations VCU Scholars Compass Ritual Poetic Drama Archetypes Myth Theatre Pedagogy Jung Actor Singer Arts and Humanities Theatre and Performance Studies
