Inventing Performance

This studio course culminates in student-created performances in the Roberts Theater at the end of the term. Students from across fields who are interested in slowing down the art-making process to explore the nature of devising, developing, revising, and performing are invited to join. We'll delve into the often-intermingled roles of creator, performer, designer, technician, and audience member. We'll use embodied tools to generate material and hone collaborative processes. We'll question why and how and in what contexts we make work. We'll look at forms like the lecture-performance, the happening, concert dance, and one-person shows.
