Integrating Video & Live Performance

At the conclusion of this 2-semester course,
students should be capable of creating and
executing an integrated media performance.
Specifically, they should be able to: conceive
the points and methods of integrating moving
images with live action, conceive and develop
effective multi-media video content, conceive and
design a multi-channel integrated media
performance using projection and other displays,
use a workshop development style to enhance their
rehearsal and development process, and use
in-class media theory readings to articulate the
relevance of their artistic choices. Skills we
will develop include methodology and use of: live
cameras, pre-recorded video content, real-time
software, and other new media at the students'
discretion. Students will create regular group
projects interspersed with media theory readings
and discussions. This course is appropriate for
actors, video/filmmakers, designers, and other
artists with an interest in using media in live
performance and installation art. We cover all
aspects of the creation and artistic process. No
prior technical expertise required.
