HONR 300C General Honors Seminar Performance in 3 credits
Baltimore
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F As anthropologists,
semanticists, and theatrical artists have
explored the notion of "performance"
through academic discourse and public
presentation, what is thought to
constitute "performance" has moved beyond
the limits of the stage and the screen(s),
into the stadiums and onto the streets.
After researching and discussing aspects
of performance theory, students will
attend a variety of events and visit a
number of sites in Baltimore, all of which
incorporate various aspects of
performance. Students will be asked to
write about and discuss their responses to
these various performance experiences, as
well as to complete a project in which,
individually or as a group, they create a
performance of their own.
