TAPS 1280Y - Issues in Performance Studies

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Introduces students to a wide range of performance practices. Each week a different genre or category of performance is discussed. Instead of following a linear trajectory of development, this course embraces wide regional, political and historical instances of performance to provide a global lexicon of aesthetic practice. Audio-visual media are extensively used throughout the course. Students are required to think critically about the relation between text, technology and the body by paying attention to the demands performance places on us as participants, spectators, scholars and commentators. Questions about how scholarship can enrich artistic practice are also explored.
