Identity Through Performance (Credit Hours: 2)

Spring 2010

This course is an invitation to consider ways in which individual identity is created. How do you perform your own identity? How do you "script" your self? How is your gender, sexuality, race, body, class, social, cultural and national "Self" defined for you by others? We'll look at seminal American performances and discuss readings that have influenced identity. And we'll produce original work as a means of exploring ways that individuals can direct and transform the way others read our identities. Use of digital media (still camera, video, audio, and web) is an integral part of this course. Students are expected to post work online every day of the course, Monday- Friday, except holidays
