Performance Essentials: Alchemy of the DJ

Catalog description

This intensive 7-week course will introduce students to the art and alchemy of DJ performance. It will illustrate how a working knowledge of music history, technical DJ skill, psychology and intuition, can all translate to creating unification of community through the power of music. Students will leave with a working development of their inner voice as a DJ and a general comprehension of their personal style and intention when performing, as well as a comprehension of "reading the crowd" responsibilities, and capabilities of the disc jockey profession as a conduit for social change.
