TEACHING STATEMENT
Students and teachers are co-creators of the learning space. As an educator, I believe students carry valuable knowledge into the classroom that can inform both their peers and their faculty. In order to cultivate receptivity to this collaborative learning, when approaching course content I facilitate practices of perspective-taking and prototyping by inviting students to engage with dialectical thinking through suspension of judgment, critical thought, and self-reflection. When students leave my classroom, my intention is that they carry with them not only a sense of who they are as artist-citizens but that there are many ways to be in and experience the world.
So You Want to Make a VR Screendance— A Workshop to Get You Started
In this 3-day workshop participants will learn and practice skills particular to creating virtual reality screendances, including storyboarding, setting up shots, the use of guiding cues, and editing. Participants should have prior screendance or filmmaking experience. Familiarity with VeeR Editor is a plus but not required. Participants should come prepared to move and be filmed as they will take turns being the subject matter for each other’s projects. Participants will need to supply their own laptop, VeeR Editor software (free download available for both iOs and Windows on the VeeR Editor website), an immersive VR camera. VR smartphone headsets will be on hand.
