This program is designed to offer students tools to develop a profound understanding of the body in time and space, which is central to performance art and to facilitate the production of live works in front of the audience. By combining traditional and contemporary methods, the curriculum equips students with the tools necessary to navigate the physical and conceptual challenges unique to this medium. Students are encouraged to develop a personal artistic language while engaging with performance as an evolving form of contemporary art.
