This module explores approaches to making performance which centre the politics of the body. Through weekly workshops, you will be introduced to a range of performance-making techniques, and will be encouraged to devise your own methodologies for creating performance. The module will draw on methodologies from live art and experimental performance, using improvisation, action and task-based performance, autobiographical approaches, and score making to develop creative and critical strategies for exploring bodies, identity, and politics. The module will ask what our bodies in performance are capable of saying and doing, and how we might use them to intervene into discourses on identity and politics.
