New Class Blends Digital Design with Improv Theater
The worlds of technology and performance arts will come together next fall in a class college students will only find at Northwestern.

Multimedia improvisation, a new class offered through the Center for Art and Technology, will use digital media design to complement comedic improvisation -- a topic that has generated interest among students.

"There are plenty of universities that offer classes in digital media design and others which focus on teaching improvisational methods, but this is the only course in any university which combines both," said Kathryn Farley, a graduate student studying theatre who is one of the class instructors.
