,PERFORMANCE: HOME/HOUSE/CITY ,,
,PERFORMANCE STUDIO (or, at Home in the House & the,City) is a studio-based investigation of,performance, broadly considered alongside,contemporary practices in performance art,,time-based art, and performing arts. Theoretically,grounded in performance studies, including,theories of performativity and performance of,everyday life, students will research and create,performance-solo, collaborative, and ensemble,work-that culminates in a public-facing event at,the Jam Handy in Detroit. The course follows a,critical framework for performance-as-research led,by a progression based on context: the home,(personal, private, phantasmagoric, domestic) to,”house” (denoting disciplinary specificity of the,black box/white cube and its trappings), to the,city (public, site-specific, participatory,,social). Part physical practice, part personal,research, part choreographic experimentation, part,collective experience, the rhythms, archetypes,,worldings, and non-sequiturs of everyday life will,provide the fodder for this performance studio.,Open to all majors
