Omschrijving	This course introduces you to foundational features of the audiovisual and performing arts worlds from the twentieth century to the present. In particular, it highlights the critical and prominent role that film (and television), music, theatre, performing arts, and video play in an increasingly interactive and global arts environment. Within both sections of this course (A and B), we explore relevant historical cases as well as more recent transformations in relation to the arts. Examples highlight art forms in which their respective technologies interact and where audio and visual aspects intersect. Further, we explore ways in which different media impact the production and reception of artworks and artistic practices. In analyzing these examples, we draw on prominent theoretical concepts supported by a cultural studies analytical framework. Ultimately, this course equips you with a basic knowledge of contemporary and emerging art forms along with historical and theoretical knowledge about the production and reception practices in theatre, music, film, and other audiovisual and performing arts.
