Alter Egos

(4 Credits)

Alter Egos embraces abstract storytelling, improvisation, resourcefulness, ritual, performance and self expression through art and technology. Students will develop original personas based on a series of stream of conscious exercises exploring various creative techniques including costuming, sound design, projections and multimedia collage. Class discussions will examine notions of identity, technology, community, health, privacy and encourage participants to venture outside of their comfort zone to radically imagine new approaches to creative expression. The course will culminate as a live event showcasing audio-visual performances by participants (in costume) as their Alter Egos.
