Queer Theatre and Performance

Catalog description

Following a queerly designed course schedule that pushes against normative constructs such as linear time, biological continuance and “progress,” as measured by notions of capitalist “success,” students will read and unpack a diverse selection of theoretical musings, play scripts, performance texts, descriptions, reviews, and videos in an effort to compose a working definition of “queer performance.” Readings, topics and assignments have been curated in an attempt to provide students with a global, fluid view of queer performance practice rather than a comprehensive, historiographic genealogy.
