THD 295-02 - Special Topic: Just for You: Between Art and Performance

2 credits (Spring)

Cross-listed as: ART 295-02. For this interdisciplinary course, eight students from Theatre and Dance, Art, and Music will explore the theoretical framework and creative process of staging performances for an audience of one as they work to blur the boundaries between the visual and performing arts. Students enrolled in the six-week short course will design and stage their own original work at the College during the first six weeks of the spring semester. They will then travel to Taiwan to collaborate with professors Craig Quintero and Andrew Kaufman and members of Riverbed Theatre in creating a site-specific performance/ installation at the Taipei Museum of Contemporary Art. Enrollment is limited to eight students and requires permission from Professor Kaufman or Quintero. Participants will be selected based on an audition/portfolio presentation that will be held on Tuesday, November 7th from 2-6 PM in the Wall Theatre. The sign-up sheet for auditions will be placed on the Flanagan Theatre callboard on November 1. If you have any questions, please contact [quintero]. Students selected to participate in this course will be required to pay a $400 participation fee (most other required travel expenses will be covered). This fee will be added to the student tuition bill and is due by the first day of classes. If payment of this fee causes you financial concern, please contact Gretchen Zimmermann in the Financial Aid Office to discuss loan options to cover this additional cost of attendance.
