>
> Introduction
> In recent years, increasing attention has been given to cross-over art=
forms
> where the blurring of boundaries between theatre, music, dance, painting,
> film etc have allowed new hybrids to emerge in the performing arts. In=
one
> aspect this is not strictly 'new'; the Italian Futurists were busy making
> sound machines in performance at the beginning of the 20th century, and
> artists such as the American Laurie Anderson have long been experimenting
> with live-action, video, music and sound interactive instruments in live
> performance; hence the term 'multimedia'. But contemporary arts practice=
is
> constantly expanding the use of technology and mediated image-making in
> performance, often resulting in a fascinating melting pot of interfaces,
> virtualities, physical techniques and applications, not to mention
> time/space or theory/practice explorations.
>
> Visual artists have also long been playing with form and content, and=
with
> methods of presentation. At one end of the spectrum artists such as Nam=
June
> Paik and Bruce Nauman have been making video and installation art since=
the
> 1960s. Towards the end of the last century a new generation came of age;
> artists working with the internet, email, virtual reality, robotics,=
digital
> media. This we have come to refer to as 'Media Art'.
>
> Contemporary theatre and performance-makers are still grappling with the
> same original basic premise as their professional fore-fathers; a
> fundamentally theatrical concept of live spectacle with audience as=
witness.
> A story or stories will be told (but it may be non-linear); there will be=
a
> beginning, middle, and end (but possibly not in that order); the form=
will
> include a rise to a climax, and a resolve or conclusion (and most likely
> more than once); but above all, a suspension of disbelief is guaranteed.=
The
> form of the spectacle may be virtual, it may be recorded on CD-rom, it=
may
> be relayed by live web-cam over the internet; it may be an ensemble piece
> happening simultaneously across the world with each member of the=
ensemble
> performing in a different city, to a culturally different live audience;=
it
> may be a personal virtual experience in the head of one single audience
> member at a time; or it may simply require one character to be=
represented
> by a TV monitor or video projection screen.
>
> Course Description
> This workshop aims to examine practically and theoretically the advances=
and
> emerging challenges to classical representation, and to look at how new
> technologies are radically altering the perception of performance and=
visual
> arts for contemporary audiences;
>
> - What constitutes a mediated image
> - Which forms of mediation might be appropriate to a live setting
> - What are the consequences of working with these images in direct=
relation
> to the
> 'unmediated' body of the performer (does theatre/performance lose its
> character?)
> - What happens to the relationship between the 'mediated performer' and=
the
> audience
> (when it's live but not present, or recorded)
> - How/what can we learn from past practice?
> - How can artists practically work with and utilise new media?
>
> Alongside practical sessions, in which creative ideas and projects will=
be
> devised by the participants and developed over the period of the course,=
the
> work will be contextualised by critical and theoretical discussions of
> existing concepts and contemporary practice. These will be in the form of
> seminars, debates and practical examples, given by experts and artists in
> the specific discipline. Topics include; video art as fine art practice;
> technology & performance; "electric scenography"; interactive performance=
&
> time-based media; installation & site-specific performance; CD-rom / web=
&
> internet arts projects; interactive music and sound.
