Abstract
The final assignment invites students to collaboratively devise and perform a site-specific, immersive theatrical experience in the ground floor of the Music Library. Working in groups, students will create a 7-minute mini-scene that engages with the space, considers audience sensory and emotional experience, and draws on techniques from twentieth-century avant-garde movements as well as insights from their midterm fieldwork. Through workshops, rehearsals, and a public performance, students practice creative collaboration, spatial analysis, and experiential design. The project emphasizes process, responsibility, and teamwork, enabling students to apply course concepts in embodied ways while developing practical skills in directing, performing, and devising. A final Q&A invites reflection on how historical theatrical innovations can inform contemporary site-responsive performance-making.
