DANC 142 SC - Feminist Ethnography and Performance


This course explores transnational feminist epistemologies alongside performance studies research methods, investigating the impact of a feminist approach to ethnography in performance studies, and the opportunities afforded by performance making and analysis to a feminist ethnographic practice. Texts exemplifying feminist ethnographic methods in dance and performance studies explore intercontinental connections through media, geography, and collective aesthetic and political impulses. The ethnographies we read, focused on performance broadly construed, represent feminist research concerns and methodologies of women of color.  Additionally, through case studies we approach topics addressed by feminist artists in their work (blackness, passing, environmental concerns, sexual violence, lesbian identity, immigration, disability, among others). We will train in feminist theory and methods in critical performance ethnography, and engage in thoughtful performance making and criticism.

Prerequisite(s): Sophomore standing. First years require permission of an instructor.
Course Credit: 1.0
