In this two-hour workshop In Pursuit of Otherwise Possibilities (IPOP) will lead teachers and other artists through a series of practices developed over our first year of research into queering artistic feedback. We will start with an overview of methodologies for applying various queer principles to reflecting and supporting performance. We will explore how educators can view art through different queer lenses, asking how work relates to or utilizes ideas such as normativity, camp, and reinterpretations of history or culture. From there we will explore some key findings from our research on how to design and run feedback sessions intended to support queer artists. Finally, we will take time to try out some specific methodologies we used during our 2022 Feedback Sessions.
This workshop is meant for sharing practices and methodologies among people supporting the development of LGBTQ+ artists and their work across disciplines. We are interested to reflect together on pedagogical aspects of our work in relation to queerness and sharing best practices among fellow educators.
All are welcome. No experience or familiarity with queerness necessary.
Snacks, tea and coffee are provided.
