THEA016 PO - Queer Theatre and PerformanceWhen Offered: Irregularly
Instructor(s): Staff
Credit: 1
Queer Theatre is not simply about representing LGBTQ people onstage, rather queer theater takes up questions that are at the very foundation of what theatre is and what it means to do theatre. In this course, students will explore Theatre understood as a broad medium or container for performance writ large. Students will critically engage ideas of performance through the mediums of stage, film, TV, activism, and social media- all sites of Queer Theatre- from the (1920s-present day). By recentering Queer Trans, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (QTBIPOC) voices and experiences, the course seeks to acknowledge and interrogate institutional erasures, systems of oppression, and practices of privilege as part of the methodology of queer theatre. From Stonewall to HIV/AIDS activism, from Harlem balls to televisual drag shows, queer performance has a long history of taking up Queer Theatre as a site of healing and liberatory praxis.
