DRAMA 162x - Where Dance Meets Performance Art

Institution:

Harvard University

Subject:

Description:

This course focuses on body-based performance practices that emerged in the 1960s and 1970s through a combination of studio- and seminar-based work. Our goal is to develop an understanding of the overlapping methodologies that were explored in performance art and postmodern dance, both in relation to their historical/political contexts and as potentially generative structures for devising your own performances. The class culminates with a publicly-performed piece that utilizes the research undertaken throughout the course.
