- Description
The seminar introduces the basics of post- and decolonial theories; theoretical texts by Edward Said, Stuart Hall, bell hooks, Legacy Russell, Azadeh Sharifi and others will be read and discussed together. Using contemporary examples from theater, dance and performance (e.g. Joana Tischkau, Simone Dede Ayivi, Mable Preach), we will also explore decolonial artistic strategies and possibilities of a theater critical of racism. For this reason, attending theater performances as well as viewing video recordings is part of the seminar. If possible, discussions with artists will also be held.
