The Art of the Interview
Interview transcripts offer a rich source of insight for the critic. In this course, students will explore different interviewing approaches, ranging from the journalistic interview to a variety of oral history techniques, and from scripted Q&As to more freeform conversations. The qualitative differences between interviews that take place face-to-face versus those conducted over the phone, via e-mail and instant messaging will be addressed. Visits to the studios of practitioners in a range of disciplines will be scheduled, providing an opportunity to observe critics in their working environments and to practice interviewing skills.
