Performing Bodies: Mediating the City is an interdisciplinary venture between two programs—Media Studies (MST) and Theatre and Performance Studies (TAPS)—under the direction of Deborah James, Ph.D. and Patrick Santoro, Ph.D., respectively. This collaborative endeavor will allow students to explore the relationship between media and performance as part of a 2 course, 6 credit experience taught in Fall 2016. Specifically, this entails weekly Saturday meetings at GSU’s downtown site, providing students with an extended classroom—the city—to apply, and discover their own, theories at the intersection of new media and performance.
