Class description
It's Bigger Than Hip Hop
faculty: Third Andresen and Jeanette Bushnell
In this class we will learn about how performers respond to social forces and how they inform political changes with an emphasis on Seattle hip hop. We will study historical examples, local populations and theoretical foundations. We will read, view, listen and attend performances including hip hop, spoken word, theater, music, dance, art and others. This course will have a strong emphasis on resistances to oppressions, civic engagements and community building. Weekly assignments will include responding to course material final project that might include performing or organizing a performance. In addition to class time, students will be expected to attend weekly events. In our continuing efforts to model the process on the content we will teach this course using primarily spoken word, music, song, video, art and poetry.
