Performance, Presentation, and Identity

This two week interdisciplinary workshop will
examine identity in performance and presentation
through the lens of code-switching, colonialism,
systemic erasure, forced migration, resistence and
liberation. Students will create characters based
off of their cultural background and imagine how
they could exist in the future via costumes,
movement, integrated media, and character
development. Notions of time and time-travel will
be experimented with under the umbrellas of
Afrofuturism/Retro-Afrofuturism, mythology,
sci-fi, and spiritualism. This course is open to
the Institute.
