Inhoud
Contemporary Performance – Mapping the Field aims to investigate and map the field of contemporary (European) theatre, dance and performance. The course explores recent trends and topics in the field of European theatre, dance and performance, with a focus on what we will name a performative, a social and a spatial turn.
We will discuss and query what are relevant concepts, sources and discourses to engage with current societal, political and aesthetic developments, and investigate how we can use these to contextualise contemporary performance. Students learn to compose and write a contextual analysis, which addresses relations between emerging artistic practices, dramaturgical strategies, social worlds and cultural debates. They learn how to connect this to conceptual frameworks by which these issues can be described, interpreted and critically reflected on and discussed. Visits to performances, festivals and other events are a constitutive part of this course.
 

Career orientation:
The course includes active visits to performance festivals and meeting with practitioners and programmers; students learn to recognize and analyse forms of contextual analysis in professional practices.
