Performance, Identity, and Popular Media - CUL230

The main theme for performance exploration in this unit is the cultural practice of everyday acting/performing with a view toward a broader spectrum of performance. This unit examines the practices of contemporary performance work, identifying social and cultural issues (relating to gender, femininity, masculinity and ethnicity) and artists' strategies. The time spent in class consists of approximately 50 per cent workshop exercises and 50 per cent theoretical study. Students are expected to work in groups for the production exercise. The works produced by students are regarded as working models or prototypes for analysis and theoretical discussion.
