In this course we will experiment with methods of performance in the post-theatre age of technological prosthesis. Some of these experiments will involve the use of communication technologies such as digital animation, sound, and motion detection. We will consider performance in relation to social presentations of self, gender, and persona, online and in face to face interaction, in all cases grounding our discussions in actual performance work. At the end of the semester you will present an individual, group, or whole-class performance involving the principles we will develop over the course of the semester.
