Spring 2024 Course Description

Theatre of Vibrations is a process-focused studio emphasizing creative production methodologies, interdisciplinary team work, community engagement, and the public presentation of experimental immersive art and design activations.

Students will learn production methods focusing on cross-disciplinary collaboration while exploring new and oblique approaches to producing work. Throughout this course, students have opportunities to engage with members of an Iowa community during a process that results in the creation of interactive audio-visual art engagements.

By setting out to activate a space in a way that engages a community, new forms and value for the creation of work are explored during this studio. The location of the final installation of these interactive works as an immersive experience is a vacant theater on Main Street in Ottumwa, IA.

Part of making work like this is embracing the unknown at various stages of the creative process and using those opportunities to learn new things in the pursuit of making new work.
