The purpose of this course is to introduce students to the application of various visual and audio technologies in live theater and dance performance. \u00a0The course also will explore the emerging phenomenon of hybrid creative practices that utilize technology to further expand 21st<\/sup>-century storytelling, design, and genre.\u00a0 Discussion of the historical and theoretical context of contemporary mixed-media performance will be combined with an orientation to the available technologies found at Swarthmore and beyond, with an emphasis on video. The class will include the conceptualization and preparation of a series of individual studio projects. The course is designed to serve all students regardless of prior experience in theater production.<\/p>\n
