Class #: 19466
Instructor: Mary Magsamen
Time: Mondays 5:00-8:00

Description: The lines of art making are becoming increasingly blurred with new ways of making, thinking and collaborating among the arts. This course will be a historical survey of interdisciplinary and collaborative approaches to the arts, aiming to look at how this genre has evolved and continues to develop. Using video and performance art as a foundation, we will explore experimental approaches to theater, dance, fine art and music. Students will be given readings, writings, video and sound examples and small exercises to demonstrate ideas and practices of how the arts and artists work together.
