Working with scholars, researchers, arts activists, and guest artists from the Los Angeles community and the Center for the Art of Performance, students learn first-hand from visiting artists about their art-making processes; attend performances and exhibitions on campus; develop written responses to those events; and participate in creative workshops exploring students’ own artistic production. Through this integrated process of study, spectatorship, writing, and creative exploration, students expand their understanding of the unique role artists and audiences play in the interface between culture and creativity.
