C. Course and Curriculum DevelopmentIntroduced performance and composition in Second Lifer with the Avatar Orchestra Metaverse (an international community) collaborating with Tintinnabulate in Arts 4961 Fall 08. The collaboration resulted in a successful mixed realities performance in Studio 1 at EMPAC Nov. 20, 2008.

Served on the Arts Department PhD. Committee 2002 to present

Worked with curriculum committee to shape existing music courses for integration with Digital Arts curriculum 2001/2007

Created Tintinnabulate – a multimedia performance ensemble Fall 2005. Tintinnabulate continues within my research seminars as a core research group exploring multimedia performance locally and co-located performing with national and international groups. Through 2006 to present Tintinabulate in collaboration with Jonas Braash in Architectureconnects on a weekly basis with CCRMA at Stanford University and CIRCA at University of California San Diego to do continuous research on telepresence performance.

Arts Practicum Arts 6966 Spring 2002: Engaged the students in a large-scale production of The Library of Maps: An Opera in Many Parts. Each student created a part of this production. Twenty students from my Deep Listening class also took part in the production as the chorus. 65 students from Kathleen Ruiz’s animation course collaborated on an installation for the Opera. There were performers from the RPI community as well. The production utilized all of West Hall Auditorium as an installation space around the hall as well as proscenium staging with a wandering audience.

As an adjunct to the West Hall Auditorium production an INTERNET collaborative drawing project took place one week before. This project involved children from the Ark Charter School in Troy and the Mills Children’s School in Oakland and their art teachers. A program devised by the Academy of Electronic Media at RPI was used for the children to draw collaboratively on the INTERNET. They prepared for the event for 6 weeks prior. Each location was shown to the other by web cam and conference phone as well as the drawing program achieved communication. These three modes of communication were totally utilized by the delighted children in both locations. Each of the two rooms were vibrant with excitement and all of the technology worked thanks to excellent coordination with both technical teams. (RPI and Mills College
