Students from across fields who are interested in slowing down the art-making process to explore the nature of devising, developing, revising, and performing are invited to join this studio course. We’ll make an expansive artist residency together and delve into the often-intermingled roles of creator, performer, designer, and audience member. We’ll use embodied tools to generate material and hone collaborative processes. We’ll question why and how and in what contexts we create. We’ll look at forms like the lecture-performance, the happening, concert dance, and one-person shows. Culminates in student-created performances at the end of term.
Distribution Area: LA
