0/2 | DRMU 128 | 3.00 | Graded | Can making performance be a social research technique? How does making theatre result in tangible and practical knowledge about a community? This course takes students through an individualized process of outlining research inquiries, identifying a community of interest, and making performance that responds to or integrates social research regarding that community. It draws on a number of theorists and practitioners working at the intersection of performance and the social sciences, each of who wrestles with various topics such as race, inequality, gender/sexuality, age, and religion, both in the United States and further afield. Students will leave this course with a practical understanding of how to deploy performance in future research endeavors, particularly when working with communities. This course centers on a few themes: balancing research and creative activity, generating a strong driving inquiry, techniques for making performance, and handling ambiguity. In this, the course will draw on literature from social fields such as sociology and anthropology, as well as artistic fields like theatre and performance. |
