Description:

This course examines the various "languages" that are used in performance arts, the peculiarity and specificity of their syntax, and how they convey meaning to an audience. The course concentrates upon the institutional, sociological, semiotic, and psychological parameters of performance in general and the questions that performance generates for a society. This course will first look at the established conventions of music, drama, and dance performance as they occur in the West, and subsequently draw comparisons with performances as they occur in the non-European cultures.
