Performing Failure – Theories on Perfection and the Sublime
An experimental performance of multi-media publishing
Robert Gill Theatre and surroundings
Centre for Drama, Theatre and Performance Studies, University of Toronto
Over the last term we fruitfully, sublimely and playfully grappled with cross-cultural and trans-historical concepts of failure/perfection while dealing heads-on with challenges of digital culture in academic publication and research. Students from our Centre and Visual Studies, from four different countries, banded together in groups and will do their very best to entertain you in sophisticated ways of failure while reaching for the sublime. Each group developed a Scalar project and will make sublime attempts to present these perfectly LIVE.
This is another course inspired by the work and experimentations of the Digital Dramaturgy Lab, which invented a number of courses on the graduate and undergraduate levels. This is our latest adventure.
Let’s fail and let’s say so successfully!
