VPA 402 - Multidisciplinary Collaborative Projects

Units: 3

Students will be guided through a series of structural, problem-solving exercises designed to equip them to complete collaborative projects in the arts. The projects will be idea-or theme-centered and require a high level of cooperation from the involved students. The primary disciplines included in the project will be music, the visual arts, and theatre; may also include film, video, and movement. Special emphasis will be placed on the notion of “inclusion” and therefore materials can be drawn from traditional classical cultures, pop materials, electronic sounds and or images, text, and folk art forms.
