ENGC 3062 - Performing Race

Institution:

University of Cincinnati-Main Campus

Subject:

Description:

Performance has become a - if not the - means with which theories about race and representation have "played" out. This course will bring the theoretical debate back into the theatre, using plays as entry points into larger critical thinking about performance, difference, identity, authenticity and embodiment. The course will combine theatre studies and performance studies methodology in order to look at plays, photography, film, and popular culture within a broader conversation about race and theatricality. We will look at how race is constructed or deconstructed, maintained or dismantled onstage, in the wings, and in the streets.
