Syllabus Information

5.1. Methodological overview

The subject is structured in four main methodological lines:

• Theoretical reflection about the performance involvements as a representation of the moving body inside art and mass media.
• Practical experimentation of the technical aspects regarding the moving body. 
• Resolution of problems and cases by means of the use of improvisation and technical knowledge about different media (sound, moving image and light).in the performative and multimediatic play 
• Iniciation to fundamental techniques about practical producing of audiovisual projects of “cinedanza” and action films. Resolution of problems and cases by means of the use of specific software.
