The course was taught by Lecturer in Dance Patrizia Herminjard ’96 and visiting artists Joshua Kohl and Crow Nishimura of Degenerate Art Ensemble, who are part of the creative team behind the upcoming presentation “Boy mother/faceless bloom,” a performance work that has been in development at CC during the past three years. These artists, as well as Eddy Kwon and Senga Nengudi, were the Colorado Springs Fine Art Center at Colorado College’s Mellon Artists in Residence during the Fall Semester.
