Class description
We will start by asking and answering, "What is performance?" This question will prompt discussion about the actual definition and cultural use of the term and the nature of performance in our culture and others.
***** For UTOPIA IN PERFORMANCE ***** In this class, we will define what utopia is and discuss how certain performances, focusing on theatre, film and music, suggest utopia or utopic experiences.
