Overview of class

At its core, this course is about seeing the potential in the world around us, and creatively using the elements at our disposal to upgrade that world. It's about how to create art as an answer to our reality. In this advanced directing course students will learn to expand their artistic minds beyond the frames of the conventional performance venue, and enter into the worlds of the immersive and site-specific, where performance happens in direct conversation with space and audiences are often cast as active participants in the experience. Through a combination of theory and (mostly) practice, students will gain from this course essential skills for resourcefully and sustainably transforming real spaces through performance.
