The Performance and Practice of Speculative Human Order

1 credits · Undergraduate

In response to global ecological crises, this class seeks and enacts alternative poetics of human relations based on expanded individual awareness. The course entails a weekly studio practice of embodied strategies to develop new sensibilities and experiences in moving and relating to others. Students will be active performers/participants in the creation of a 'social choreographic situation' engaging a specific community or a broader public at the end of the term. At times deeply experimental; interdisciplinary discussions, critical thinking, reading, and reflections form an integral part of the class. No previous or specific movement practice is required.
