Introduction
Immerse yourself in a major event or festival, delve into its themes, concepts and artistic forms, and make connections with your own creativity.
Encountering the Event:1 is an introductory, fully online unit that allows you to explore a major cultural event and its themes through perspectives from art, music/sound, performance, science, politics, literature, philosophy and history. As a primer for the event, you’ll be examining what fuels your creative interests – whether sensory, cerebral, aesthetic, poetic, technological – along with a vibrant community of like minded others, including creative practitioners. Whether you experience the event in-situ or online, through reflecting on and communicating your encounter you’ll develop and apply creative skills, enriched by the insights of other participants
