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.
