Performance exploration in this course focuses on the cultural practice of everyday 'acting/performing' with a view toward a broader spectrum of performance. This unit examines the practices of performance work, identifying social and cultural issues (relating to gender, femininity, masculinity, and ethnicity) and artists' strategies. The key question for this unit is: How do everyday social and personal performances differ from acting/performing in film or theatre, or in non-drama TV programs? The time spent in class consists of approximately equal time for workshop exercises and theoretical study. -- Course Website
