MS 107 PZ -Mythologies: Video + Performance

Mythologies: Video + Performance

In this hybrid studio/seminar course, students will create audiovisual mythologies through short video projects and hands-on workshops supported by readings, screenings, and discussions. We will explore the relationship between the body, space, and technology by approaching the virtual space as a place to perform and transform ourselves. The course explores the expansive possibilities of performance and video art practices that center, subvert, and reimagine various mythologies?folklore, pop culture, familial life, mass media?as a mechanism for critical thought and imagination. Students experiment with subject matter and aesthetics: audio and video production and editing, experimental writing, and collaborative performance exercises.
