The Contemporary Avant-Garde

This class, while exploring significant artistic and sociopolitical developments of the historical avant-garde, will primarily concentrate on the experimental theatre and performance of the past 25 years—a contemporary avant-garde that, as Paige McGinley describes, “hinge[s] on a networked spatiality, rather than on linear teleology” and reflects a growing collective investment on part of audiences and artists alike in the work of a work of art.
