Description

Subject Area: Theatre and Performance Studies
This course can also be studied in the following specialisation: Media, Culture and Technology

This course examines the places of technology in contemporary performance culture from MTV to performance art. It considers the rise of video literacy, the expanding field of digital culture, and how such technologies have shifted the parameters of performance and representation. You will look at a range of performance objects, activities, events and behaviours produced in the exchange between the body and new media. You will explore the convergence of performance genres, the remediation of art works, theoretical concepts such as posthumanism and cybernetics, and how live performance engages with contemporary cultural change.
