Celestial Performance Design (2023-)

This course examines the elements and history of performance designed in concert with celestial entities: the sun, moon, stars, tides and beyond. Students are invited to explore a variety of approaches, including independent research, reading, attendance at guest lectures, experimentation and project work.  The main goal is to introduce students to languages, tools and techniques of Celestial Performance Design. Central to this course is a grounding in the theory and practice of conception, communication and realization of design in both lecture and laboratory settings.
