| Brief description of the Unit |
Working with artist/facilitators/technicians, this intermediary course is designed as a one-week intensive, exploratory workshop in which students will continue to explore processes of production, design and technical innovation through interdisciplinary creative practices that may include combinations of generative writing, performance, visual art, movement, digital art, small screen technologies, video and music and sound production.
Focussing on design and production processes, that include old and new technologies of art making, students will be asked to consider relationship to space and place, to the environment and each other and how that might be expressed through collaborative creative practice. Students will engage in a range of creative activities to activate their potential as artists and critical thinkers and to experience a collaborative production and design process in action. |
