Overview of class

This course is an introduction to the practice and analysis of performance as an expressive form of communication. During the quarter, students will study, analyze, and create different modes of performance and reflect on their meaning-making and transformative possibilities.

Class participants will create their own performances, write short performance reviews, and learn methods for giving and receiving thoughtful critical feedback.
