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.
