CLASS ADVERTISEMENTS

The Performance Studies focuses on performance as a method of textual study, as an aesthetic event, and as a social and rhetorical act.

Exploring how performance operates as a way of knowing, of being, and of acting in our world, this area of the department offers a broad range of courses concerned with performances that occur in classroom spaces, theatre spaces, everyday spaces, and social spaces.
