Description
This panel by the Performance Studies Working Group explores performance as both pedagogy and practice across three disciplines – theater, music, and art. Each of the panelists is an artist, and each will discuss how “performance” fits into their artistic work as well as pedagogical practice. Each panelist will also offer a demonstration or participatory exercise aimed at demonstrating how they translate “performance” into a pedagogical practice of inquiry. How do we “perform” art and how does that relate to how we “perform” ourselves? Discussion among the panelists and with audience members will look for generalizable similarities as well as differences between different genres and forms. This panel is intended to be both exploratory and fun for audience members, and is conceived of as the “practical” counterpart to the “Performance Studies in Theory and Practice” panel also submitted by the Performance Studies Working Group.
