Description
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:
A studio course focusing on creative collaborations between artists of different disciplines. The emphasis is on the creation, analysis and critique of new compositions created in collaboration between senior students in dance, film, music, theatre and visual art. Students with credit for FPA 485 may not take this course for further credit.
COURSE DETAILS:
CA485 is a studio course focused on compositional approaches to interdisciplinary collaboration. This project-based course is designed to focus on how we develop a greater awareness of the different approaches used to generate new work, and to practice feedback and collective critical reflection. Artists will work in groups to create original studies.
Group projects will be assigned throughout the term. Shorter in-class assignments may also be facilitated. These projects can range from performance, installation, time-based works, sound art, film/video, etc, with a focus on live-ness, presence, and viewer experience/interaction.

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY: YOUR WORK, YOUR SUCCESS
SFU’s Academic Integrity website http://www.sfu.ca/students/academicintegrity.html is filled with information on what is meant by academic dishonesty, where you can find resources to help with your studies and the consequences of cheating. Check out the site for more information and videos that help explain the issues in plain English.
Each student is responsible for his or her conduct as it affects the university community. Academic dishonesty, in whatever form, is ultimately destructive of the values of the university. Furthermore, it is unfair and discouraging to the majority of students who pursue their studies honestly. Scholarly integrity is required of all members of the university. http://www.sfu.ca/policies/gazette/student/s10-01.html
RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION
Students with a faith background who may need accommodations during the semester are encouraged to assess their needs as soon as possible and review the Multifaith religious accommodations website. The page outlines ways they begin working toward an accommodation and ensure solutions can be reached in a timely fashion.
