Description of Never a Dull Moment

Teachers are really performers, classrooms are stages, and the students the captive audience.

Does this sound like your educational experience? Would you like it to be? Jyl Lynn Felman, performance artist, feminist, and teacher of over twenty years, is here to show us the way.

Dynamic, animated and improvisational, Felman's approach to teaching breaks new ground, dramatically transforming the traditional classroom into an intellectual theater. In this classroom, teachers are performers, not lecturers and students are active participants, not passive receptors. In this classroom, risk-taking, intellectual honesty, and openness are all part of the show. The result is a critically engaged and emotionally invested learning experience for both student and teacher.

In beautifully crafted essays, Felman gives a performance that is hard to forget. Along the way, she takes on some of the most important issues on college campuses today: identity politics, sexual harassment, race relations, anti-semitism, eating disorders, tenure, and the value of teaching.

NEVER A DULL MOMENT is a performance not to be missed.
