Overview of class

As a Black, queer person, I believe it is important to tell our stories. Much of my research uses autoethnography to explore my lived experiences and tell my stories more intimately. So, in this course, we will focus on compositional methods that help us explore and choreograph our embodied archives. Consider the following questions: What languages do you speak? What languages do you write in? What's your movement language? We will use sounding, moving, speaking, writing, and improvisation to dance our stories. As a culmination of our time together, we will create an immersive installation of our compositions to move through and interact with.
