This seminar is designed for graduate arts students pursuing advanced training at Duke in dance or experimental documentary arts. Students will engage with historical and contemporary issues surrounding arts labor and infrastructure, explore organizational strategies used by guest artists to sustain working livelihoods, and draft and revise professional portfolio materials enabling them to enter communities of practice beyond graduate school. Taught in rotation by core faculty from Duke's two MFA programs, this proseminar encourages artists to reflect on what they need to sustain an enabling environment for their work.
