MOOC

Create in public space

Welcome in this MOOC Create in public space!

The project of the MOOC start in 2016 thanks to IN SITU ACT program. We work during two years with the European network IN SITU, ARTCENA which is a french national center of theatre, circus and danse, and a lots of artists and europeans professionals. For the first time, the Create in Public Space MOOC brings together theoretical and practical knowledge on artistic creation in public space.

What is public space? Why do artists choose to work in these unconventional places? How do they use these spaces around the world? What kinds of legislation and technical characteristics do professionals have to take into account?

Around 15 hours of videos will be made available to learners to answer these questions, covering history, aesthetics and the specifics of dramaturgy, scenography and the relationship with the audience that characterise this sector, through a hundred or so recent artistic projects from international artists.

This MOOC will present all the artistic, political and human diversity of projects in public space and the full range of their aesthetics. It is first and foremost an analytical tool and a knowledge base, which we hope will be used by a whole host of artists from all around the world.
