Institution:

Massachusetts College of Art and Design

Subject:

Description:

In this course, students propose, develop and present short live events with an emphasis on generating and describing ideas. We'll explore many forms of live events -- from the broadest definitions to contemporary performance art. In an artistic context, a live event might be a musical performance, spoken word, audience participatory event, street performance, interactive installation, Internet artwork, street theater, ritual, etc. The course will also introduce various contemporary technologies that extend the reach of live artworks. Through an historical survey of live events (intentionally artistic or otherwise) exposure to performance technologies, field trips, discussion, and critique of student work, this course will investigate the art of effectively shaping live events that communicate their artistic intentions. Students will create scripts for and direct short live events using time, space, classmates, objects, and technologies available to them.
