How does performance art and theater relate to digital culture? Traditionally understood as live embodied practice and communal encounter, theater’s relationship to digitality has been described as complex, challenging, even subversive. This course investigates various intersections of the performing arts and digital culture in a global collaboration to rethink theater in the digital era: students will create performances across cultures and geographic distances and explore new theatrical formats such as immersive performance, VR/AR-experiences, social media theater, or experiments with AI systems. Taught locally at BCB, we will reserve some of our class time for synchronous collaboration with students from our parallel classes in Johannesburg (South Africa), New York/Annandale (US), Bogotá (Colombia), Vienna (Austria), and London (UK). While embracing theatrical experiments with digital technology we will bring a critical lens to the study of digital culture and its inherent biases, politics of accessibility, and data surveillance.
Besides exercises and artistic reflections on class readings, each student will be able to choose one of six intensive skill-building workshops which will take place during four class sessions. Each workshop will be offered by an internationally renowned digital performance artist and centered around a specific practice such as techno-queer glitch performance, digital mapping, dramatic online theater, or multimedia performance. In addition, students of this course will be given the opportunity to apply for a one-week in-person student collaboration to create a performance at Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá/Colombia in January 2024. This course is open to students from all disciplines. No previous experience in theater and performance is necessary.
This is an OSUN Network Collaborative Course taught in partnership with the following institutions: Bard College Annandale; Birkbeck, University of London; Central European University, Budapest/Vienna; Universidad de Los Andes, Bogotá; Witwatersrand University, Johannesburg.
