Performance class will lead the students towards understanding modes of presence within postdramatic theater. They will practice devising and composition exercises to become aware of the performative potential of objects, space, other performers, and audience. They will also train physical methods to develop self-awareness and gain an understanding of how to work with their presence and actions to create performative situations within the dramaturgical system of the performance.
