Project 1: Image, Sound, Text and Performance introduces students to independent research.

Over the second semester, students develop independent projects with an international focus, linking their research with international projects, festivals, venues, institutions, exhibitions, performances, and/or collaborations. Students draw on the guidance and supervision of bilingual and multilingual staff and mentors with experience in research and the presentation of art and performance-based work internationally. Within seminars and symposia we workshop and critique work-in-progress.
