Integrated Arts 2122 - Exploding Text:Poetry in Performance

Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

This hands-on exploration of a full-bodied literature provides a theoretical basis for spokenword poetics via deep reading and analysis of texts, as well as performance practice. Hip-hop, dada, futurism, New York School, rock, beat, Black Mountain, and other traditions weave through the curriculum. Media other than print are engaged: video and audio recording, live music collaborations, poets' theater, and the Internet are all considered. Students participate in class collaborations with painters and musicians and create a performance in at least two media as a final project. Several classes are held in New York City, where students meet with artists to discuss their work.
