  • THEA 2120: The Viewpoints: An In-depth Study of Strategies for Composition & Improvisation

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    In this embodied practice of The Nine Viewpoints of Space (Shape, Architecture, Spatial Relationship, Topography, Gesture) and Time (Repetition, Kinesthetic Response, Tempo, Duration) the practitioner becomes aware of and expressive in each of the distinct viewpoints. By focusing on one piece of vocabulary at a time (one viewpoint) we develop clarity, skill and ownership of what we are creating.The Viewpoints were not invented by anyone, but rather, they are ways of perceiving and naming principles that exist in nature. Emerging out of a visual art practice and evolving into a system of working for the stage, The Viewpoints are a form of awareness, a baseline practice for any creative endeavor. Though this is a physical practice, study of The Viewpoints is pertinent and applicable for performers, musicians, visual artists, actors, psychologists, activists, dancers and writers. As an awareness and mindfulness practice study of The Viewpoints gives the artist a framework within which to make choice and craft work. Practice of the viewpoints develops skill for creative clarity, collaboration and composition. We bump into "the violence of articulation" - what it means to make a creative choice and the authorship question of "on what are we putting our attention"?We will have an open Work-In-Progress sharing of some of our work at the end of the semester.

  • THEA 2150: Introduction to Performance Studies

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    Performance studies is an expansive interdisciplinary field that explores everyday life, politics, ritual, storytelling, folklore, theatre, dance, music, and visual art in theory and in practice. We ask: What is performance? What are the limits to sites/objects that can be analyzed as performance? How can performance be described and interpreted? How do people "perform" in media-engulfed environments? How can performance be understood globally? We will explore what this highly contested term "is" and "does," as well as when and how, for whom, and under what circumstances. To begin our journey into this exciting field, we will read foundational texts by its major figures, including Richard Schechner, Marvin Carlson, Joseph Roach, Diana Taylor, Dwight Conquergood, Judith Butler, and others. Besides reading and analyzing works of theory, students will have the opportunity to create practical projects (alongside their written work) that allows them to apply the methodologies we study. This approach privileges both the practice of performance -as gesture, behavior, event, and artistic production- and the study of performance - through ethnographic field work, spectatorship, documentation, analysis, and writing strategies. Students have the opportunity to apply key readings to sites that may include: theatre shows, dance recitals, music concerts, museums/exhibits, sporting/community events, and observation of behavior in everyday life as performance. We will also practice ethnographic methods to collect stories for live performance or for performative writing.

  • THEA 2450: The Anthropology of Performance

    4.00 Credits
    New College of Florida

    This course is designed to provide background in anthropological approaches to performance as developed primarily through studies in ritual and theater. Students will work from a wide-ranging bibliography that addresses interdisciplinary theoretical interests, beginning with the Harlem Renaissance-era efforts by anthropologists Zora Neale Hurston and Katherine Dunham to present cultural concepts through performance. Attention will focus on framing relationships between audience and performer in cultural context. A consistent theme in this course will be the strengths and difficulties inherent in (re)presenting people, beliefs and practices beyond their historical or cultural settings and interpreting them for contemporary audiences. Challenges shared by anthropology, literature and theater will be studied through exposure to primary texts, theoretically framed discussion and observation of artists who are drawn to perform what they have discovered.Previous course work in anthropology and/or theater and permission of the instructor required. Enrollment limited to 15. (This course with the same title is also listed under Anthropology. Students may list only one of them on their contract.)
