Class announcement poster for elective taught by me titled Performance as Publication. Class description is below.

This course will explore the relationship of publication to performance and consider performance as publication itself. We will pull from the works of Performance Studies, Queer Theory, and Printmaking/Design precedents to interrogate the relationship between the permanence of the written word and the temporary, fleeting, ephemeral "nature" of performance. Students will be expected to engage in critical reading discussions and produce research-based studio projects. 

Questions explored include: How can a performance be an act of publishing that is as equally as viable and authoritative as a publication? What does it mean to publish in the ephemeral format of a performance? What does it mean for a publication to perform? How can one read a performance?
