Performance Art

In this introductory course, students will learn about the fundamentals of performance art and create their own performance-based projects. We will be making works critically engaging race, culture, gender and identity to evoke self empowerment and social change. Students will engage in daily practices such as body movement exercises and meditation to increase their performance awareness. Final presentations of projects include in-class presentations, group collaborations, and video performances. Our focus will be on queer artists and artists of color from the 20th century onward. No prior experience is needed.
