For centuries, great works of music , theater, and dance, have combined art and science to
make integrated performances that move audiences. Today, we are seeing exciting changes
as artists experiment with video and real-time interactivity to draw audiences even deeper
into the performance, and enhance the shared experience of the moment. This class
explores conceptual approaches to design, industry-standard software, prototyping
frameworks, and data flow programming to provide student designers with the cutting-edge
tools necessary to confidently collaborate with writers, directors, and performers. Structured as a studio course, students will make designs for contemporary performance pieces, and collaborate with working artists to design original projects.
