THE BODY IN MOTIONDana Morrison6 sessions >> Tuesdays, June 6-July 18(no session July 4)6:30–9:30 pm, Studio 9, $275No prerequisite.
This performance course will concentrate on the history of the body in performance art and how the incorporation of the human form changes the experience for both the performer and the viewer. We will focus heavily on concepts of performance art and its collaboration with other mediums such as the written word or sculpture. You will learn more about the use of your body in artwork through a series of exercises and collaborations. The class will culminate with each student producing a performance to be experienced either live or documented.
