| The overall purpose of the workshop is threefold. First, to give a practical overview of the available technological tools, describe their function and, as a group, explore their practical uses in live performance. (If you want to know more about the specific tools we teach, visit our media and technology section – the tools we teach during the workshop are the same as those we use as in our performances.) Second, to generate a critical discussion regarding the implications that the use of these tools has on the way in which a work is created and its resulting content. Third, to allow the participants the chance to create and perform short studies that make use of the tools in ways that reflect the aesthetic intentions of their own work.
The format of the workshop is flexible to accommodate the schedule of the host institution and the availability of its students. We require a minimum of two hours with the students per day, but a longer time period is preferable. It is important to remember that the combination of sensory systems and output devices in which the students will be immersed is, in our estimation, a new instrument. The amount of time that the students have to play and practice with these instruments will be proportional to the power of the learning experience.
