This unit introduces students to the concepts and practices of performance. It explores theatre, drama, movement and performance, ritual practices (such as weddings), social and cultural genres (such as court hearings and political protests), and the ways in which people perform themselves in daily social exchanges. Students are taught ways to write and think critically about performance forms. The unit also involves a workshop component, where students are given practical performance experience. -- Course Website
