Performance and the Camera

This practicum workshop is open to the Institute.
Performing Stories: Camera, Audience, and the Real
In a time where the boundaries between the
"lights, camera, action" side of performance and
the "filter, tag, post" side of performance
dissolve even further, it is becoming increasingly
difficult to determine the conditions of "the
real." What is an authentic image? Does it bear
any more or less on our thinking, our behavior,
than the inauthentic image? Who gets to determine
what is real? The author? The audience? To explore
these and other questions, we will spend the week
looking at the work of Kalup Linzy, Amalia Ulman,
Nikki S. Lee, and "Joanne the Scammer" among
others, while creating, editing, and publishing
our own stories to our various followers and
audiences. Attendance at all sessions is required.
Limited to 14 students.
