PAT 3010 - Sound and Light Design for Contemporary Performance
Credit(s): 3
This course is designed as a continuation of our introduction to design course for contemporary performance. This course focuses on how light, projection, and sound effect the ways that we experience live performance. The course looks at the use of light and sound in traditional theatre as well as dance, music, and experimental site specific/immersive experiences. Largely a practicum, students will begin experimenting on their own light and sound on day one of the course.
