Overview of class

This course will offer an approach to histories, theories, and critical perspectives on the genre of the performances art as grounded in the traditions of performance studies and minoritarian performance theory. Rethinking the epistemological horror established by the cannons of white art history, this class looks beneath, under, and over those deadening, sanctioned approach to the theorization of live art to imagine performance in and as a mode of minoritarian becoming and undoing.
