| Description: | This course will consider London as the locus for what is and was Modern. We will spend one week in London attending and reviewing theater performances, visiting Museums (particularly Tate Modern and The Design Museum), visiting landmark Mod culture sites (e.g. the legendary Troubadour Club (est. 1954), Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in Soho, the British Music Experience Museum, Twickenham Film Studios, Bar Italia's Scooter Club) tracking the rise and evolution of Mod culture in London. Prior to the trip, we will study plays, films, music, fashion, architecture, and television documenting the rise of Mod culture in 1960s London. We will track its evolution through 80s punk and beyond, studying London's trend-setting nature and its continual effort to define and redefine what is Modern. We will also see theater productions representing a wide range of theater companies, conceptual approaches, and modes of production.
