Class recap
We spent the first day of class getting acquainted with the course syllabus. Michael walked us through a few examples of projects he’s worked on that involve storytelling through space. To get us thinking about how different senses work together to shape our experiences, we did an exercise that involved performing tasks around the studio with a sensory impairment (examples: wearing a blindfold or sitting in a wheelchair).
