Collaboration Among the Arts
Spring 2007 will mark the third year of the trans-disciplinary course, Collaboration Among the Arts, offered by the Cynthia Woods Mitchell Center for the Arts in conjunction with the School of Art, Creative Writing Program, Moores School of Music, and School of Theatre & Dance.

Collaboration Among the Arts focuses on the process of creating art collaboratively, by challenging and exploring disciplinary boundaries. The course brings together students and faculty from the visual, performing, and literary arts for creative experimentation and project development.

This team-taught class is led by four faculty members selected from Art, Creative Writing, Music, and Theatre. Participating students are divided into small groups to create projects over the course of the semester. Project development includes an in-depth exploration of the range of disciplines practiced by visual artists, performers, and writers, followed by an exchange artistic tools, skills, techniques, and languages.
