Overview of class

This course introduces students to performance research as an interdisciplinary field and method of inquiry. Students will explore performance practice as a mode of knowledge production across theater, performance art, dance, activism, and digital spaces. Through critical readings, embodied research labs, practice-based inquiry, and creative documentation, students will learn to analyze and generate research that employs performance as a modality of social exploration and critique. The course culminates in original performance-based research projects.
