FeesLook up fees

The focus of this studio subject is the development of both design thinking and dexterity with tools – specifically the generation and articulation of design possibilities through a series of studio-based projects. Linking these investigations will be the theme of sound and music in performance, which may be explored conceptually, metaphorically, structurally, or technologically – for example, music and/or sound as the starting point for performance, sound and it’s relationship to colour, sound and texture, the control of sound. In all of these investigations, the student will be encouraged to think of sound as a dramaturgical tool.
