Learn About Performing In/And/As Buenos Aires: Attend An Information Session

Buenos Aires hosts more theatre per capita than any other city in the world and the work ranges from commercial musicals and plays to experimental dance-theatre pieces, site-specific theatre in cemeteries, murga, and documentary theatre. Studying theatre in Buenos Aires will introduce you to new genres of theatre, and new approaches to familiar genres; it will expand your ideas about what the word “theatre” encompasses, and how it is made.

Attend this information session to learn about the January Term course Performing In/And/As Buenos Aires. In this course students will not only experience performance in Buenos Aires, but will experience Buenos Aires as a performance in and of itself by analyzing queer tango, gender-inclusive language, mate drinking, café culture, murga, and the omnipresence of Eva Perón in theatre productions and in everyday life. Thus, Buenos Aires is the lens (or case study) through which we will examine performance, and performance is the lens through which we will experience and examine Buenos Aires. This course is for both English and Spanish speakers.

Performing In/And/As Buenos Aires will be taught in Argentina by Undergraduate Drama associate arts professor Erin Mee. Attend the information session to learn more about course from Erin Mee and meet with Tisch Special Programs for application requirements.
