How might other artists offer us glimpses of their tools and strategies for scaling conceits and concepts however simple or complex? How might we speculate, infer, convey and deploy those tools and strategies as approximated methods, borrowing and creating an actively relational network of useful and useless practices? This course is an act of deep study, a practice-based regard for the citational with an unwavering approach and encounter with artists working in and thru acts of dance and performance. we will use and discern and try-on performance – based
propositions as a way of being inside the circulation of animating, borrowing and transforming our proximity to shift(y)(ing) histories.
