This course focuses on using performance as a framework to understand aspects of Japanese society and culture. Students will learn about events in Japanese theater and multimedia art, and will be introduced to core concepts in performance theory. We will aim to understand performance as both an art and an “epistemology”, a tool for knowing the world around us.
This course is dedicated to understanding Japanese art and culture through the lens of performance. We will discuss selected topics in Japanese theatrical history, and collaboratively explore how using performance as a mode of analysis can help us understand culture and society. We will ask questions such as, “How does performance shape our understanding of history?” and “What does it mean to ‘perform’ our gender in today’s society?” The class will culminate in a final performance project, in which students apply a theoretical concept from the course to an art or performance object of their choice.

| Since this class focuses on performance as a tool for understanding the world, we will sometimes engage in brief creative exercises in class. For example, we may read out loud from a play, or we may make our own "street art" performance in groups. |
1. Weekly Readings - from both primary sources such as plays, and critical theory concerning performance. You will also periodically be asked to watch short videos of live performances.
2. Weekly "Quick Response" Assignments - Reflect on this week's readings and discussions in a short paragraph (~5 sentences).
Note: You are *not* graded on in-class creative exercises and you generally do *not* have to do special preparation for them outside of class. However, your participation in weekly class discussions, weekly "Quick Response" posts, and occasional creative exercises will all be reflected in your "Participation and Weekly Assignments" grade at the end of the course (see below).
