This course deals with disability representation in performance (film, theater, and performance). We will be discussing the presentation and treatment of "normal" within these cultural contexts. But we will also be focusing on specific plays, films and other works within performance culture. Students will be asked to connect previously published disability content with existing wikipedia articles published on various performance topics.
