When
- Monday
- Feb. 13, 2012
Description
A Lecture by William Eddelman, Ph.D.
The Museum of Performance and Design
San Francisco, CA
For thousands of years humans have decorated, shaped and clothed their bodies in numerous ways. This lecture will "expose" the audience to a wide variety of topics including: tattooing, piercing, shifting erogenous zones, class and status, power dressing, cross dressing, the sexology of the foot and shoe, clothes in the performing arts; and changing concepts of gender as they relate not only to the body but to the ways in which clothes become extensions of the body and the mind. Images from several cultures will be shown and questions will be encouraged.
William Eddelman is an Emeritus Associate Professor from the Stanford University Drama Department and has been on the MPD board for many years. He has curated exhibits for MPD and in the last year has given lectures, "Finishing the Ring" and "Designing Wagner's Ring", for the Wagner Society of Northern California. Recent lectures at MPD have included, "Toulouse-Lautrec, Montmartre and the Parisian Avant-Garde" and "Performing Paris: the 1920s". He has taught several times at the Stanford Center in Berlin and is an expert on international theatrical design.
This event is part of a series of lectures and talks beginning January 2012, Monday nights from 7:00 to 8:45. Seating is limited.
The tickets are $10 for members and $15 for non-members
