"Performance is the unifying mode of the postmodern."--Michael Benamou Increasingly, the idea of performance has become a central concern in a range of disciplines comprising the human and social sciences. These disciplines have borrowed the performance rhetoric and strategies of the theater and in turn have expanded the boundaries of what constitutes theater. This course will explore the relationship between performance and postmodernity as it emerges across a variety of works from theatre, video, film and performance art that will serve as case studies for integrating the theoretical and historical readings.
