Creative Performance Experience
Visual, Digital & Performance Arts Program – Focus in Sculpture & Theatre.
How did the experience transform your learning?
My experience has given me the opportunity to apply what I have learned in the classroom in the real world through the research of some of my amazing professors. Getting this real-world experience has given me a new perspective on everything that I do. Given the inter-disciplinary nature of my degree, I can take courses in a variety of disciplines. This has fostered my interests in aspects of fine arts that I had not considered at the start of my degree. Taking courses in different disciplines has also helped me experience the crossover between different disciplines within my faculty, which I have found very interesting. The connections between concepts and applications of different courses are becoming more apparent as I gain more experience in different aspects of my degree.
What did you learn that you weren’t expecting to?
I have learned that I am more creative than I initially thought I was. I have also realized that gaining experience in different disciplines has pushed me to be more open to trying different opportunities that I come across. I have begun approaching everything as a project by considering the planning and practice involved in my previous projects and how I can apply that to new projects. My experience has also helped me make connections between things I have learned and my everyday life and other work that I have been involved in through my professors.
How did you learn about the opportunity?
My involvement in various experiences has mainly come from my professors integrating their research in the classroom and looking for students to help them. I have found that once you put your name forward once, the professors tend to know that you are interested in working with them and may ask you for help on future projects.
