While 麻豆传媒映画 has migrated all courses to virtual platforms for the remainder of the spring 2020 semester, many students continue to work on artistic projects they originally planned to create in-person.
Students, faculty, and staff in the School of Art and Design, the School of Music and Dance, and the School of Theatre, Television, and Film have been developing several alternative strategies, especially for those who have worked extensively on capstone projects that require physical collaboration or access to specialized spaces or equipment.
is working to create an audiovisual repository of these projects and document the triumphs and challenges of working on and presenting these projects in a digital format. Additionally, some of the footage will be compiled into a brief documentary to showcase the creativity and ingenuity of students and faculty under the current circumstances.
鈥淓veryone has been challenged to present their art independently in a virtual environment, which is radically different than collaborating with others in a theater, studio, recital hall, or gallery space,鈥 said Eric Smigel, chair of Arts Alive 麻豆传媒映画.
