Corso di laurea in DAMS
Discipline delle Arti, della Musica e dello Spettacolo

The module aims to highlight production techniques, linguistic codes and dramaturgy, for the purpose of creating a multimedia performance. The module aims to outline the specific problems involved in the design of live events with digital and interactive technologies. The module aims to provide the basic tools to develop a general interactive multimedia performance project. The module aims to introduce to multimedia event planning activities.

The students will know:

• what are the main technologies involved in digital performance;
• contribute to the realization of multimedia performances (also with the use of new technologies);
• collaborate in group work for the realization of projects making use of their attitudes.
• develop autonomous projects of live multimedia events.

Lessons will be face-to face in attendance. It will last 36 hours. The remote mode (streaming and/or registration) will be guaranteed for students who cannot attend the classroom, citing documented reasons of fragility, work and family. The Moodle platform will be used as an integrated learning environment, by uploading contributions that can be used asynchronously.

 Prova pratica

• Gli/Le studenti potranno decidere (concordando con il docente) di sostenere l'esame mediante una prova pratica.
• La prova pratica (se autorizzata dal docente) consisterà nella realizzazione del progetto sviluppato nel corso. Se il progetto sarà approvato dal docente, l'azione scenica potrà essere prodotta utilizzando le risorse della struttura StudiUmLab e con l'assistenza tecnica del responsabile tecnico della struttura (Maurizio Consolandi).
• La realizzazione della breve azione performativa prevederà una pre-produzione di contenuti multimediali, testuali e performativi. La realizzazione finale durerà 5 giorni di lavoro  (ore 8:30 - 17:30) presso la struttura.
• I giorni potranno essere concordati con il responsabile tecnico (a partire dalla fine del corso e preferibilmente fuori dal semestre di lezioni).
• La possibilità di utilizzare la struttura StudiUmLab è sottoposta alla disponibilità e al calendario di prenotazioni.
• Al termine dell'allestimento la performance verrà presentata al docente e successivamente discussa con lui.
• Nel caso di prova pratica, gli studenti e le studentesse saranno valutati/e dal docente sulla base della breve azione performativa prodotta e sulla discussione che segue.
• Le presentazioni saranno programmate (per coloro che ne faranno richiesta) in relazione alle sessioni d'esame.
• (La modalità di esame pratico potrà subire cambiamenti in relazione alle disposizioni di ateneo e alla normativa vigente ed è sottoposta alla disponibilità delle struttura).

Gli/le studenti che intendono sviluppare la prova pratica devono necessariamente frequentale anche il Laboratorio interdisciplinare: Sistemi software per la gestione dello spettacolo intermediale

Gli/Le studenti DSA sono pregati di prendere contatto con il docente nell'orario di ricevimento per definire strumenti compensativi e trattamenti individualizzati.

Oral exam.

• Students will have to demonstrate their ability to discuss the fundamental notions (and the examples analyzed) of multimedia dramaturgy.
• They will have to illustrate their project by motivating creative choices and detailing the design of dramaturgical and digital content.
• The examination of the second module lasts about 30 minutes.
• The grade will be described in thirtieths.
• (The examination procedure may undergo changes in relation to the university provisions and the current legislation).
  • Students will be able to decide to take the exam  through a practical test.
  • The practical test will consist in the realization of the project developed during the course.
  • The scenic action can be produced using the resources of the StudiUmLab structure and with the technical assistance of the structure's technical manager (Maurizio Consolandi).
  • The realization of the short performative action will have 5 working days at the facility.
  • The days can be agreed with the technical manager (starting from the end of the course and preferably outside the semester of lessons).
  • The possibility of using the StudiUmLab structure is subject to availability and to the booking calendar.
  • At the end of the preparation the performance will be presented to the teacher and subsequently discussed with him.
  • In the case of a practical test, the students will be evaluated by the teacher on the basis of the brief performance action produced and on the discussion that will follows.
  • The presentations will be scheduled (for those who request it) in relation to the exam sessions.
  • (The method of practical examination may undergo changes in relation to the university provisions and the current legislation and is subject to the availability of the structure).

SLD students are asked to contact the teacher during the reception hours to define compensatory instruments and individualized solutions.

The teacher is available to discuss and integrate the contents during the semester of the course and provide all the necessary support to those who want it.
For students who decide to produce their own project designed during the course as a practical test, the teacher is available to provide assistance and supervision when requested.

The first three weeks will be dedicated to the framing of the multimedia performance. The topics will be discussed using examples of performances availavle on video.

The topics will concern:

• the use of video and videoscenography;
• the intermediality of stage writing;
• technological interactivity in live events.

The following three weeks will cover:

• the codes of the dramaturgy and intermediality;
• the tools for designing the dramaturgy and intermediality;
• the methodologies for creatingdramaturgy and intermediality;

In the last three weeks, the students will have to form groups (maximum 4 people) to elaborate a detailed project of a short intermedial performative action.

The examples of (completed) projects are available at the link www.officinesintetiche.it at the Activities section.

ATTENTION: the documents on Moodle must be studied as part of the syllabus

Please note: the resources on Moodle are an integral part of the syllabus. Students are expected to be able to present these materials during the exam.
