DESCRIPTION:The TAPS Graduate Students invite the full TAPS Community to jo
 in them at the June First Friday. This month's event is a conversation wit
 h UC Irvine Assistant Professor Tara Rodman.\n\nFantasy is a strategy—of
  individual survival\, but also of historiography\, especially when the ar
 chive holds silences\, mis-directions\, and fabrication. Fantasies of Ito 
 Michio narrates the transnational career of Japanese modern dancer Ito Mic
 hio as a story of fantasy-making\, a strategy by which Ito made himself in
 to an international success and maintained a sense of self-continuity acro
 ss experiences of war\, racialization\, and imperialism. This talk provide
 s an overview of the book and offers a discussion of what performance rese
 arch might look like when a scholar is faced not with archival paucity or 
 erasure\, but rather\, an abundance—of fiction\, if not fact.\n\nQuestio
