Exploration in Indigenous Performance: Body, Land, Language, Story. This course combines active studio/movement exploration with readings and discussion of scholarly literature to ask, “How do Indigenous approaches to the performance process differ from Eurocentric approaches?” We shall place the intellect inherent to Indigenous knowledges at the center of decolonial inquiry to engage Indigenous performance theory and concepts that link body, land, language, and story. Scholarly contributions from American Indian and Indigenous studies, cultural anthropology, literature, and performance studies provide resources for an intervention in the fields of theater, dance, and performance studies as well as Indigenous and anti/post-colonial studies. This special course will feature George A. Miller Visiting Artist, actor/playwright/dramaturg and artist/scholar Monique Mojica (Guna/Rappahannock) as well as U of I anthropologist of dance and human movement, Brenda Farnell.

We interact with people through video games, blogs, and social media platforms that speak to our interests, and these digital “spaces” develop distinctive forms of communication in the process. This course explores digitally-mediated communication practices as central features of digital cultures, asking what we can learn about people, societies, and technology by studying communication in these contexts.
