Course Objective

The aim of this course is to provide theoretical knowledge and practical skills for the creative use of digital technologies and interactive systems in contemporary performing arts. Within the scope of the course, students are expected to produce innovative spatial solutions by integrating new media technologies such as projection mapping, sensor-based interaction, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) into stage design processes. Evaluating the aesthetic and functional possibilities offered by digital tools in staging practices contributes to the development of interdisciplinary approaches within contemporary performing arts. In this direction, the course prepares the ground for the creation of original stage constructions with both theoretical and practical aspects.
