Creative Process

Catalog description

In this course, we will together explore different topics as they relate to the creative process, with a focus on improvisation, collaboration, and communication. Our primary text will come from The Oxford Handbook of Critical Improvisation Studies, Volumes 1 & 2, edited by George E. Lewis & Benjamin Piekut, with additional text from Keywords in Sound, edited by David Novak & Matt Sakakeeny, and other texts, recordings, and videos that will be supplied on Canvas. The goals of this class are to explore a range of perspectives on the creative process through class material and from the range of perspectives offered by visiting guest speakers, and to form ideas for creative projects of your own.
