Performance
Art You may think you’re just an ordinary Joe,
but you may well be, unknown to yourself, a performance artist. “Performance
art” is a wide category that encompasses dance, poetry, theater, comedy,
visual arts, and music. We will trace the roots of performance art from prehistoric
religious ritual through Dada, Bauhaus, and conceptual art to the present.
We will look at selections of the work of Robert Wilson, Pine Bausch, Andy
Warhol, Yoko Ono, Eric Bogosian, and Laurie Anderson. Instructor: David Schein

Sounds
of the Mouth This seminar is perfect for actors, speakers,
singers, lawyers, politicians, DJs, MCs, and anyone who says anything! We
will explore how an individual makes each sound in the English language and
then begin to apply this physical sense to speaking, reading, and improvising
with language starting from a physical and musical base, rather than from
a thinking base. This class will reinforce what you’ve known all along
by returning to your speaking “roots” when, void of the rules
of speaking, you communicated nonetheless.
