Part III: Integrity in Public
Unit 9: Contenders and Civic Liturgy
Monday October 19 and Wednesday October 21
What does integrity look like when a person stands alone, and what work can comedy perform for a public in crisis?
Orientation
Civic liturgy names what a public performance does for a community in crisis, without pretending the performer is a saint. This week we build the chronology before we make the thematic claim.
What this Unit teaches
- spiritual-athlete proxy
- confident compassion
- uncertain humanism
- suffering without forced redemption
- service and exile
- civic liturgy as function, not sanctity
- chronological performance sequence
- standing in the misreading
- witness versus self-defense
- criticism as part of the object studied
The rest of this Unit unlocks when you enroll.
The orientation above stays open. The Monday and Wednesday work, the readings, the Labs, and the deliverable unlock with an account, an active Studio subscription, and your course access code.
