You are all expected to see a performance during the last week of October. You will decide in September which performance you want to see. The choice will be conferred with me. Each of you will write your own performance analysis. The nature of the assignment will be discussed in further detail in class. The review will be 3-4 (double-spaced) pages. Presentations Each week a participant will give a ten to fifteen minute presentation on that week’s reading/viewing. You are expected to think critically on the readings and prepare for a conversation. Final Project Ideally, you will start thinking about your final project immediately. Your final project may be a 5-10 minute performance/an installation/video art/media art accompanied by a 4-5 page artist’s statement or a lecture performance. You may also write a 12-15 page research paper. Blog Before 11pm every Tuesday you will post seven to ten points from the reading and viewing due that week that seem significant to you and that outline the material (we’ll call this a map of the material). At the end of each week, before Friday at 8 pm, you are all expected to post at least one response (between one to three paragraphs) to the previous week’s readings, presentation, class discussion, and the viewings. Think of this as a space where the conversation continues after class. Office Hour Each of you will sign up for a 15 minute appointment to meet with me during my office hours during September so we can discuss your ideas for the final project and any other concerns. Always feel free to talk to me during my office hours. Also, feel free to contact me on email for any questions you might have. Only in an emergency and during class time, call the office phone to leave a message. Academic Integrity
