Performance Composition (PERF 3060)

This course studies the rhetorical and aesthetic elements of solo and group performance, including performances of literature, cultural performances, and experimental performances. Theory and practice are emphasized, as students broaden their understanding of performance as both object of study and method of representation. Students will develop performances through adapting or creating texts and working with various staging aesthetics. Prerequisite(s): PERF 1000; PERF 2010 or PERF 2035; or instructor permission (3)
