Other classes by Chelsea M Gregory

This course introduces the critical terms and practices of the contemporary study of performance. Several key terms and important genres of artistic and social performance will be engaged; the course will draw critical and disciplinary methods from anthropology and ethnography, from the theory of dance and theater, from literary and cultural theory. Critical and theoretical concepts will be used to analyze a wide range of live and recorded performances, as well as performance texts.

Class Notes

Performance Studies classes offered by TDPS in Fall 2020 will meet during scheduled class times remotely and synchronously for at least ½ of the scheduled class hours per week. The remainder of class time will be held either synchronously or asynchronously. Some of the Zoom class meetings will involve break-out groups. Regular reading, writing, tutorials, video viewing assignments, research-based assignments, etc. will be shared with students via bCourses. Finals will be proctored remotely, or written final projects will be required. Students are expected to use the video option in Zoom for this class. Please contact the instructor if you have extenuating circumstances that prevent use of the video option (or if you have other technical issues). show less
