Independent Project: Journey to the Surface of the Earth further develops each student’s capacity for independent interdisciplinary research.
Over two semesters 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 we workshop and critique work-in-progress.
