Performing and Digital Arts: Intersections
The course focuses on an introductory approach to the fruitful intersections of performing and digital arts, with emphasis given to the recent decades of contemporary culture. Part of the course will explore critical aspects of hybrid perspectives in artistic practice; others which blend with interdisciplinary and intermedia processes of synthesis, various media and methods from the fields of contemporary theatre direction, music theatre, performance, choreography, digital arts and technologically sophisticated environments. The experimental character of the course aims to present selected cases from contemporary performing works and hybrid art practices as well as a series of invited lectures from artists, theoreticians and cultural practitioners; thus revealing the dynamic links between these two worlds. What is more, this approach also adds new perspectives from influential examples for students during their undergraduate studies.
