Delivery Date: 03 – 15 February 2020 | taught by: Dr. Pavlos Kountouriotis, Fenia Kotsopoulou, Verena Stenke and Andrea Pagnes
module synopsis | This module examines the socio-political and philosophical underpinnings of performance works that utilize transgression as a mode of challenging normative and subjugating perceptions around the body and subjectivity. These performative acts of transgression are contextualized as methodologies to expose and provoke the dominant ideologies that have cultured and shaped contemporary bodies excluding otherness and creating hierarchical societal rules of subjugation. The students will have the opportunity to practically work towards the creation of a collective performance challenging the normative Body and promoting failure and transgression as liberating and highly politicized tools for performance creation.
