________________________ _

RATIONALE FOR INTRODUCTION OF THIS COURSE:

Since 1981, The School for the Contemporary Arts has offered a course in Interdisciplinary

Collaboration every

Spring semester under the Selected Topics course number

FPA 489-5

Interdisciplinary Projects

in Fine and Performing Arts.

This selected topics course was the

primary one for students wishing to collaborate with students in disciplines other than their own.

In addition, since 1998, the Interdisciplinary Collaboration course has been paired with

FP A

813- Interdisciplinary Graduate Studio. The course has always been offered at full capacity

of

eighteen students.

However, in recent years, various faculty members in Contemporary Arts have been offering

FPA 489 with different topics, as the course was originally intended, while the Collaboration

course continued to be offered using this same

number- FPA 489-5. Student transcripts were

beginning to show numerous entries for

FP A 489 because they were taking different courses

taught under the same number.

Since the Interdisciplinary Collaboration course has become a

regular and consistent part

of our offerings for nearly thirty years, it's appropriate that it should

---

have its own number and identity in order to release FP A 489 for use by different faculty as a

selected topics course like it was originally intended.

Last year, the

School created a lower division interdisciplinary studio course FP A 285 -

Interdisciplinary

Studio - Composition/Collaboration for students to gain skills and insight into

the art

of composition within an interdisciplinary context. By offering FP A 485 Interdisciplinary

Collaboration, we have completed a series

of courses in the Calendar designed to take advantage

of our unique mission within the School: that of creating opportunities for artists who are seeking

collaborative experiences with colleagues in disciplines other than their own.

SCHEDULING AND ENROLMENT INFORMATION:

Indicate effective term/year course would first be offered and planned frequency of offering

thereafter:

Spring 20111 once per year

NOTE: There is a two-term wait for implementation of any new course.

Waiver required: Yes: __ / No: _X_

Will this be a required or elective course in the curriculum?

It

will be required in music

(collaboration stream), and

an elective in dance, theatre, film, visual art in both BFA and BFA

(Hons) programs.

What is the probable enrolment when offered? 18 students

Which

of your present CFL faculty have the expertise to offer this course?

Professor David MacIntyre, music/interdisciplinary

Professor Owen Underhill, music

Professor Martin Gotfrit, music

Professor Judy Radul, visual art

Professor Steven Hill, theatre

Professor Rob Kitsos, dance

Professor Henry Daniel, dance

Professor Allyson Clay, visual art

Professor Chris Welsby, film

and other faculty in the

School for the Contemporary Arts

Are there any proposed student fees associated with this course other than tuition fees?

(if so,

attach mandatory supplementary fee approval form)

NO

RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS:

Note: No new course will be approved by Senate until funding has been committed for

necessary library materials (S.93-11). Each new course proposal must be accompanied by a

library report and,

if appropriate, confirmation that funding arrangements have been addressed.

Campus where course will be taught?

SFU Vancouver campus Contemporary Arts at Woodwards.

Library report status

_________________ _

Provide details on how existing instructional resources will be redistributed to accommodate this

new course. For example, will another course be eliminated or will the frequency

of offering of

---

other courses be reduced; are there changes in pedagogical style or class sizes that allow for this

additional course offering?

Under

the selected topics number FP A 489-5

J

Interdisciplinary Collaboration has been

part

of the regular teaching load of Professor D. MacIntyre for 28 years. In addition, there

are numerous faculty members capable and interested in teaching this course, so that on a

rotational

basis

J

some elective courses within various programs of the school will be

taught every second year. The offering of an interdisciplinary studio course at the upper

division

is something the school has done for many years and it is time that a course titled

Collaboration

be on the books and available in an interdisciplinary School such as ours.

With the

move of Contemporary Arts to Woodwards, we have the facilities and proximity

to offer such a course regularly - perhaps every semester, if possible. Now, on a rotational

basis

J

faculty from various programs within the School will teach this new course under its

own

name and number. This means that every few years, one elective course within a

program

may have to be taught every second year to accommodate this new course.

List any outstanding resource issues to

be addressed prior to implementation: space, laboratory

equipment

J

etc.

None

Dance Area Curricular Changes

School for the Contemporary Arts

As the SCA prepares for the move into the Woodwards facility in downtown Vancouver,

the Dance Area is shifting its curriculum to accommodate greater flexibility for our

students and to facilitate more integration

of the areas. Part of our effort has included

scheduling our disciplinary training in the first half

of the day- keeping our afternoons

more available for interdisciplinary courses and collaborative projects.

With the increase in studios, the dance area is streamlining its technique courses so they

can all be offered at the same time

in the morning. This is not only in effort to increase

flexibility in course planning, but also improve the pedagogical structure

of our technique

courses.

We will be able to offer three levels of technique, giving better attention to the

technical needs

of each student. This shift requires that we add two technique classes to

our first year courses FPA 122 and

123 (Contemporary Dance I and II). Based on

feedback from our first year students, this change will enhance the first year experience

and better prepare our students for the upper level studio courses.

We are also proposing to lower the upper division requirements by four credits so our

students have more flexibility in their third and fourth years

of study. As there are

growing opportunities for dance students to take interdisciplinary courses and participate

in our honors program, we feel this change will accommodate greater opportunity for

individual students to purse their area

of focus.
