Compose a study, 3–5 minutes in duration, that Ulrich might perform in our final performance-for-video project and post it on your portfolio website by class time next Tuesday.
Brainstorm Three Concepts for Pieces
By class time next Tuesday, make one post on your portfolio website with 3 ideas for possible pieces you could create (alone or as part of a team) for Ulrich to perform. For each, provide a one-paragraph description of the concept explored, how the performance will be structured over time, what the audience will hear/see/experience.

Your First Web Portfolio Video
Updated: Create a website to host your portfolio for the semester, edit the video of your solo étude to include a couple camera angle changes and some titles that highlight the most interesting elements of your creation, post it on YouTube, and embed the YouTube video into a post on your portfolio site. and make a brief post describing the knowledge, skills, and interests you bring to this project, so we can get to know you and how we might collaborate with you this semester. In that post or a separate post on your site embed some YouTube video in a post on your site, so you’ll know how to do it for the future. It could be a video of you that you already have, or just something you find inspiring.
Submit the URL to your portfolio site to the instructor by class time Tuesday. Continue reading
