Hi All,
FIRST: NOTE THAT ON THE BLOG (BELOW) IS THE PROGRAM SCHEDULE – SUBJECT TO SMALL CHANGES – FOR THE REST OF THE QUARTER. Note: milestones and due dates for performances and related writing.
—
Please make sure to read all these, concentrate on the Ranciere, which is difficult, and the small primary texts. These, along with Templeton and a continuation of poetry, politics & constructed situations (poetics of spatial practice – Debord & Kocik) will be what we will cover.
PLEASE ALSO BE IN CLASS. Overall attendance has been good, but from here on out we’ll need everyone to have a felt responsibility towards one-another, to be absolutely consistent in showing up FOR one-another, to hold one-another accountable as co-learners, given just how deeply collaborate our work will be come–where each week’s work and classtime is precious, where things will begin to build cumulatively such that time missed will make it very difficult for you–and your collaborators–to catch up.
