a me scenic design/architecture class

I am way too excited about this class:

"This seminar begins a two-quarter sequence exploring the theory, design, and fabrication of scenery for live performance that is physically transformable, site-specific, and designed to incorporate projected digital media. The course will draw from literature on multimedia performance, architectural theory, and theatrical scenography, as well as construction and performance techniques from a variety of disciplines. Students' final collaborative projects will develop staging for a well-known theatrical scene in collaboration with a director, others designers, and performers, one or more of which will be refined and fabricated in Winter. The course is a collaboration between the Dept. of Architecture and Urban Design and the School of Theater Film & Television, supported by the UCLA Arts Initiative."

All I can say is: duh.  Will be posting work from this one.

ok. this does sound incredible, but i find myself praying that it's not just something some wordy professor thought up to make something sound amazing that he/she might not actually pursue. i'm getting really over that (happened to me too many times). i'm going to say it's your job to keep the prof in line/show everyone what that description means.
