> eighth faculty members. Performance design is an emerging program 
> focusing on theories and methods for the study of production and 
> consumption of events and experience from both creative and 
> commercial perspectives. The field of inquiry includes festivals, 
> conferences, media events or experimental communication where 
> questions of sensory presence, collective participation, and 
> experience of the event are central and where the production is 
> continuously developed in relation to social changes and audience 
> segments. Advanced knowledge and skills are required to analyze and 
> coordinate projects involving many project partners and audiences. 
> Moreover, the event and the performance can be viewed as a context 
> for understanding questions of cultural production, experience, and 
> consumption.
