Interactive Multimedia Performing Arts Collaborative Technology
OVERVIEW:
Interactive Multimedia Performing Arts Collaborative Technology (IMPACT) consists of a three-week intensive experience through collaborations in dance, music, multimedia, and arts technology. These workshops provide an opportunity for students to create new interactive works, as well as to learn internet and multimedia technology at New York University. An additional emphasis is to participate in the cultural life of New York City so that during the first two weeks, students will have three-day weekends to go to galleries, concerts, productions, museums, etc.
IMPACT’s mission is to provide unique artistic and collaborative learning experiences for musicians, dancers, and multimedia artists that culminate in a final multimedia performance of the new works including an archival DVD.
Students will earn a Certificate of Participation from ICIA (International Composers & Interactive Artists) by completing all phases of the workshop.
IMPACT is open to all college level students and because of the unique emphasis on cultural activity and awareness, it should be of special interest to international students and others outside New York City. Low-cost university housing is available (http://www.nyu.edu/housing/).

WORKSHOP EXPERIENCES
Workshop 1: Multimedia & Technology Workshop
This workshop systematically explores web authoring and developing media for use in performance. Students will learn basic principles of html and then explore web authoring applications. Each student will maintain a website to display their assignments. Students will learn: image processing, animated images, sound file management, digital audio recording and editing, video and movie processing, and DVD production. Elements of live performance multimedia production will be introduced for application in the evening workshop.
Workshop 2: Workshop for Dancers
This course is a three-week modern dance technique class that incorporates floorwork, traveling combinations, improvisation, and composition studies. Students will understand the importance of proper alignment, breath support, flow and will increase their ability to move with passion. This workshop will be an eclectic hybrid that incorporates concepts from Bartenieff fundamentals, Graham and Limon techniques, release technique, and ballet. Students will be challenged to find new ways of moving, to expand their movement potential, and to develop their unique style within the framework of the class.
Workshop 3: Workshop for Musicians (Composers and Performers)
Musicians and composers will focus on integrative and collaborative techniques, creating short works that make use of class resources, while projecting possibilities for enhancement and extension through technological applications. Performers will focus on contemporary literature, including improvisation and their individual level of development. Recording of work and discussion of outcomes will be a regular feature of each session.
Workshop 4: Workshop for Visual Elements
This workshop is for technological, visual and video developers who will explore image and video applications, live and processed, including technological applications suitable for mixed media, intermedia, and multimedia.
Workshop 5: Workshop for All Participants
Applications of techniques from the four workshops. Collaborative teams are formed and students collaborate to develop multimedia works to be presented in the final performance.
