Immersive Story Studio

DRAMA 390

This studio seminar blends immersive media, theatrical practice, and agile workflows. Topics include spatial computing/AR/VR/ XR, immersive theatre, and theme parks. Students will investigate how the affordances of each mode reveals hidden layers of familiar stories. For their course-long project, students will choose a famous story and (in teams or solo) radically adapt it into a showable outcome for their portfolios, such as an app, object, performance, installation, or marketing activation. Tech skills are welcome but not required. Students will learn to envision gloriously and scope effectively as they describe or build their critically engaged project.. This course may be repeated for credit for students who wish to design and execute a more robust project.
