[Hog Butcher(s) for the World]: Young Performance Scholars Visit, Embody, and Emerge From the [Stockyard]

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

This performance explores the metaphor of Chicago stockyards as a site of conversation for scholars in performance studies. Using new media and installation, first year masters student performers participate in archival research of performance studies scholarship at Arizona State University to further research interests in gender politics, auto/biography, spirituality, and immigration, and to contribute to the discipline as a creative space for activism.
