At first, English Honours students Finnen Voltlohin and Kylie Phillips were apprehensive when they signed up for a new experimental course Performance Studies, cross listed in English and the
Master of Arts in Cultural Studies. But once they were in the class, both students felt differently.
"Truthfully, I came into this course expecting it to be the dread point of my semester," Voltlohin recalled. "This course changed how I look at others and myself moving through the world."
"When we got the course outline there were two performances in it," said Phillips. "The first day I was shaking. I was literally terrified to go to class. But, I think the course weirdly gave me a lot of confidence."
