Aims
The aim is to introduce students to the theory of performance and performativity through joint reading and discussion of selected chapters from key publications in the field. The course should equip students with the necessary tools (concepts and theories) to think critically about performativity in contemporary art and beyond.
Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:
- Identify features of some of the performance theories discussed within performance art practices (both within and outside the field of contemporary art)
- recognise and analyse contemporary approaches to performativity in the visual arts;
- apply the terminology of performance theory in verbal reflection on their own creative practice.
