The course examines the relationship between theatre and contemporary performing arts, with an emphasis on distinguishing theatre from performance art and understanding their intersections. It introduces students to the use of new technologies as an integral component of artistic creation, focusing on video performance art, video installations, and video-based artistic practices. Students are encouraged to develop original works that integrate performance and digital media, culminating in the creation of video-based projects intended for public presentation in galleries, festivals, theatres, and other exhibition contexts. The course also highlights the role of artistic production in shaping the visibility of emerging artists and supporting portfolio and showreel development, while contributing to the broader cultural presence of the academic institution.
