Global Tactics in Hybrid Media and Performance Making

Algorithms shape our sense of self and how we perform ourselves in person and online. In this course, students will engage with the hybrid media and performance practices through which artists consider the body in public space, onstage, and digitally. The course will explore various sites of cutting-edge art practices from scenes of political theater to experimental staged performances. Texts will include live and recorded performances, as well as historical and theoretical secondary sources. The class will host a guest artist talk series centering the ever-shifting cultural climate of live performance making.
