This course will focus on the creation of graphic, text, and Western-notated scores, that relay extra-musical narrative or calls-to-action.  In addition to composing, attention will be given to strategies and techniques for utilizing sound within the score, and examining ways that works can further be presented as recorded formats, installation environments, documentation, and performative situations. The scores and interpretation tactics developed through these workshops will be activated through solo and group public performances.--Studio Research Labs are designed around a specific interdisciplinary theme that is not bound to a specific idea of medium or production. Classes are limited to 6 students and often do not meet on a regular basis throughout the semester. In the past, classes have ranged from topics related to professional development, including grant writing, gallery economics, and professional development to more theoretical propositions, such as the concept of failure within a studio practice or an exploration of the grotesque in contemporary art. They give students crucial experience in creating fully realized projects that are embedded in the art world, and they help them to cultivate a network of fellow practitioners and supporting institutions that can be built upon after graduation.This two hour course meeting block may be delivered synchronously or asynchronously. One additional hour per week of optional faculty office hours, for individual or small group meetings, will also be available by arrangement.
