Indigenous Performance
(Offered as AMST 303 and THDA 234) In this course, students will experience and learn with dancer/choreographer Emily Johnson the ideas and theories underpinning her current performance work in process, BEING FUTURE BEING, which she will be developing in a residency at UMASS Fine Arts Center.
Trial and Error
(Offered as FREN 328 and EUST 328) "If my mind could gain a firm footing, I would not make essays, I would make decisions; but it is always in apprenticeship and on trial" (III, 2 "Of Repentance"). A Renaissance jurist and thinker, Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) is widely recognized as one of the key figures in the history of self-writing and of the essay as genre. This course, however, situates Montaigne beyond these two frames. In the spirit of Montaigne himself, it proposes to attempt, to sample, to taste—in sum, to essay—the Essais (1580-1595).
