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.
