The aim of this module is to survey light, sound and digital practices in performance and introduce students to meanings that can be generated by these practices and the opportunities afforded by their use. Students will be trained at a foundational level to use both lighting and sound equipment and performance related software.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Describe the use of digital tools and software in a number performance contexts and explain their significance.
2.

Module Content
Outline Syllabus:The module will review a number of examples of technology and software in performance, some of which will be historical for the purposes of perspective and context. The core principles of software and management of digital data and imagery will be considered. This understanding will be applied through the use of example software packages.
The module will look at the way in which light, colour and sound generate meaning in performance and the broad types of equipment that provide light in performance including lantern types, power supply and control.
