Amanda Lee Profiled
BU’s Center for the Humanities has profiled Amanda Lee, Visiting Assistant Professor of French, as part of its ‘New to BU’ series.
From the article:
“Lee’s work sits at the intersection of literary studies, performance studies, and performance. As both a scholar and practitioner, Lee finds herself uniquely positioned to “engage with the authors and the time periods that [she is] working in from several vantage points.” “I get to read 18th and 19th century texts and also perform them, or restage them, or make new work that is related to what I’ve studied,” she explains. Her latest choreographic work is quite literally an embodiment of this multifaceted methodology. Titled Miserere, the work interprets the Heptaméron, a 16th century text by Queen Marguerite de Navarre.”
