DANC 270 - Queer Acts

Semester Offered: Second Semester
Credits (Range): 3 hours
Attribute: 3HU, CD, WR
This course will engage with that sexy, yet elusive, cultural concept called ‘Queer Theory.’ We will study both queer theories and contemporary queer practices by looking at the performance work of Ann Liv Young, Ethyl Eichelberger, Tim Miller, Split Britches, Holly Hughes, Marlon Riggs, Diane Torr, The Five Lesbian Brothers, Bill T. Jones and others. The central question of the course will be: ‘Is the act of performing inherently queer?’ Drag will be encouraged, but not required.
Instructor: A. Albright
Consent of the Instructor Required: Yes
