In CDC we apply project-based learning for creating interdisciplinary connections and explore the potentials of interdisciplinary linkages. Our focus will be on group work and group dynamics, formats and methods of interaction, story developing and performance acting.

In the course, you have to visit workshops, be active in our meetings and develop and document a project.

1. Workshop on March 19 - with the artist collective Time´s Up <timesup.org>: Speed Dating With Possible And Preferable Futures (for approximately 20 students). Registration after the introductory lesson on March 4. Introduction session is mandatory for workshop participation!

Time´s Up: “We will guide participants through an engaging process supporting a participative, playful and entertaining experience to train their practical utopian imagination. Participants will develop fragments of in-depth alternative future scenarios closely connected to the experiential future Change was our only Chance, an immersive experiential future part at the Angewandte Innovation Lab (AIL) as part of the Vienna Biennale from the end of May. Attendees will be guided through a process of developing artifacts for this specific future story-world, things that might be found in the everyday life of a person in that possible future.”
