The Performance and Practice of Speculative Human Order

Catalog description

In response to global ecological crises, this class seeks and enacts alternative poetics of human relations based on expanded individual awareness. The course entails a weekly studio practice of embodied strategies to develop new sensibilities and experiences in moving and relating to others. Students will be active performers/participants in the creation of a 'social choreographic situation' engaging a specific community or a broader public at the end of the term. At times deeply experimental; interdisciplinary discussions, critical thinking, reading, and reflections form an integral part of the class. No previous or specific movement practice is required.
