At its most wondrous, ITP is a lavish imaginarium rich with abundant opportunity for individual creative expression. But outside the walls of 370 Jay, reality awaits. Post graduation most creative engagements will be work for hire compounded by the unique wants, needs, and desires of multiple parties, not least of which: the client.
This is a production-focused class predicated on satisfying a brief from a real-world client. The brief will likely come with its own set of specific, prescriptive requirements. As a collective, we will be tasked with the design and fabrication of an experiential interactive the scale and depth of which warrants a life of its own beyond the confines of ITP. Together, we will engage in a semester-long exercise in project planning, resource allocation, project management, and client relations born of concrete expectations and deliverables. We’re putting the Professional back into Master of Professional Studies.
This class is open to 2nd year graduate students only. To be considered you must submit an application. Students will interview and submit a portfolio for review. Ideal candidates are multidisciplinary; the sum of their contribution to the class will be a function of more than one kind of work. Resource scheduling and allocation are a significant part of this exercise, ensuring the load is distributed equitably across all class members. We’re targeting 2nd year students and running the class in the fall so as to give students an opportunity to develop skills and practices that hold them in good stead once thesis transitions to production in the spring.
