Description: Many contemporary compositions require technology-assisted performances. When choosing to include these works in their repertoire, performers often need to develop new skills which are not typically included in their training. Performers may be faced with many questions about interactive software, hardware, cables, microphones, loudspeakers, digital files, lighting, and more. This class is designed to provide hands on experience so that performers can approach this area with more confidence while also giving them an opportunity to learn and perform with technology. In the class, students will choose and learn a contemporary, technology-assisted piece that will be workshopped in class sessions and later presented to the public in a live performance.
