This is an open module designed for you to undertake a short intense project to allow the development of specialist creative, technical, professional and/or research-led skills, while simultaneously developing professional practice.
Special thematic sub-projects, supported by lectures, workshops, and personal tutorials, are offered each year, from which you may choose one or more across the duration of the module. Indicative examples of sub-projects include:
- Improvisation Ensemble
- Sensors and interfaces
- Advanced Synthesis & Sequencing
- Electronic Instrument Building
- Coding or Live Coding
- Spatial Performance
- Spatial Composition
For each chosen project, you will devise ways of promoting and presenting work, both collectively (e.g. organising a group performance) and individually (e.g. accumulating a personal portfolio) within a public forum.
Teaching will vary according to the projects undertaken, but will comprise lecture and seminar activity, technical instruction, contextual and critical study within regular workshops. Work towards your projects will be guided through tutorial support.
Workshop: 44 hours, Tutorial: 12 hours, Reading: 40 hours, Reflection: 60 hours, Self-directed study: 104 hours, Assessment: 40 hours
