Following a minoritarian aesthetics compass, informed by the disciplines of relational ethnic and performance studies, students will approach critical theory, embodied practice, and collective learning as inseparable. Working closely with one another and with guest artists, scholars, teachers, and curators, as well as practice-based initiatives such as the Mellon funded Minor Aesthetics Lab, students will be asked to display and/or perform their work within the tradition of fusing aesthetics and social life.

Section Info:
If you are an undergrad, you will need to register for 3 credit hours, and if you are grad, you will register for 4 credit hours. COLAB is an interdisciplinary class fusing improvisation, composition and collaborative practice to create performances across campus and for our wider community. Following a minoritarian aesthetics compass, informed by the disciplines of relational ethnic and performance studies, students will approach creative practice, critical theory, and collective learning as inseparable. We will work closely with one another and with guest artists, scholars, teachers, and curators, in fields such as music, dance, architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, visual art, performance and queer studies. Work in class will include sharing and adapting the principles from each of these fields into performance structures that will be offered to the public. Experimentation across forms is a key goal of the course.
