SiteWorks – A Dance and Architecture Collaboration

Supported by the new project-based, cross-disciplinary experiential learning course initiative and the creative placemaking minor, this collaboration offers an innovative approach to the creative process through performance, filmmaking, and site-based installations throughout campus. In doing so, the campus population has been exposed to our rehearsals, spatial tests, and performances through chance encounters on their way to and from classes. This kind of engagement offers opportunities to experience places anew and to see, feel and respond to the arts in ways that are otherwise not easily accessible.

Supported by a TLTC Experiential Learning Grant, the TDPS Madden Professorship, The Creative Placemaking Minor, Arts for All, MAPP & ARHU
