Victoria Bouloubasis: The Art of the Interview | 3-weeks | Wednesdays Oct 8-22 | 7:00-9:00 PM | 719 N Mangum St, Durham, NC
A good interview should be a conversation, not an interrogation. A great interview is more about listening than asking questions. In The Art of the Interview students will learn how to conduct interviews – whether for art and community work, for academic research, or for personal and family projects – by communicating with empathy and care while effectively gathering information. We’ll read, listen to, and watch a variety of interviews to learn how they can effectively connect vulnerable conversation and detailed information. We’ll also learn how to best research ahead of an interview. We’ll discuss the ethics and hierarchy inherently present in the act of interviewing, and review best practices from the fields of ethnography, journalism, and documentary filmmaking. Students will have the chance to interview each other, as well as prepare and practice interviews for personal projects.
