Humanities and Fine Arts 191HFA17 - FYS- Queering Performance

Through critical and creative writing, critical analysis, and discussion, this course will explore themes of gender and sexuality in performance. How can we analyze text through a queer lens? What makes a performance "queer"? How can a text be queered? When have queer images been normalized and when have they been coded or erased? This course will examine these questions through classic and contemporary plays, performance art, and film.

Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA Majors.
