Why ask if someone (something?) is performing? How might performance show us different ways to understand the world or relate to each other? This class introduces the critical study of performance as an artistic, cultural, and political practice. We will take up theories of performance, as well as individual artists, performances, and performance genres. Students are expected to participate actively in class, respond to journal prompts, and develop two creative research projects.
