The Performativity of Class
How do class and classism manifest themselves in bodies? How do experiences of exclusion, isolation, assimilation or shame translate into somatic experiences or bodily positions and gestures? What do 'social advancement' and 'belonging' taste and smell like? The lecture series takes an intersectional look at the comeback of the concept of class today with a focus on educational and work realities in the field of body-based performing arts: Areas in which social inequality and privilege are often reproduced, not dismantled. In dialogue with experts from art, science and education, it explores how class positions determine relationships among students, teachers and in a larger social context, how social privileges translate into understandings of knowledge and the body, into speaker positions and structures, and what role performative and artistic (counter-) strategies play in this.
The lectures take place in presence from 6pm - 8pm at the HZT Berlin, Campus Uferstudios, Studio 11
They will simultaneously be live-streamed via this link: https://stream.udk-berlin.de/w/pM1YmhcT4JPFfP8WUL2omU
