| Overall Educational Objective | To learn to understand and interpret spacetime through performance design. | ||||
| Course Description | This course concentrates on representing space as an organization of different relations and understanding space which is created by the movement of objects and bodies. Students will focus on designing new space time body object relations. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu ders, mekanı farklı ilişkilerin bir organizasyonu olarak temsil etmeye ve nesnelerin hareketiyle yaratılan uzayı anlama üzerine yoğunlaşır. Öğrenciler, yeni mekan-zaman ve beden-nesne ilişkileri tasarlamaya odaklanacaklardır. |

| Week | Subject |
| 1) | Space as a construction of distances: Being aware of the space and experiencing the space with the movement of the body, intersecting the distances that constitutes space and seeing space as a construction of distances. |
| 2) | Presentation: Invention of the mathematical space and works on body space relations: A presentation on invention of mathematical space, brief history of body space relation, works of contemporary performance, bauhaus, oscar schlemmer, william foresight, martha graham, representation of movement and time. |
| 3) | Transformation of the space: Searching the potential of materials like, fabric, rope, tape, chair, table, transforming the space with these materials and searching the movement potentials with the spaces which is transformed with these materials. |
| 4) | Movement of the objects: Searching the potentials of the objects, behaviours and movements of objects, intersecting space by the small scale objects like paper, glass, pen and understanding the space made by their movements. |
| 5) | 3D and 2D Representations of Movement: 3D and 2D representations of the performative presentations made previous week, maqueete and drawing of the movement |
| 6) | Transformation of the Body: Transforming the body with fabric, rope, tape, sticks and searching the movement potentials and intersecting the space with the new body which is transformed with these materials. |
| 7) | Movement and potentials of the light: Designing a light setting and searching the movement and journey of light through this setting, playing with mirrors, filters, reflecting and souring materials and shadows. |
| 8) | Movement of drawing: Act of drawing as a performance, performing the events happening in the projection space |
| 9) | Unseen Forces: Being aware of unseen forces gravity, magnetism, wind and making them visible, searching their potentials |
| 10) | Time: Designing a movement serie and breaking it, reorganising the time, dividing movement series into parts and reorganising them. |
| 11) | Designing a performance: With the experience gained through the semester as 3-4 person groups students design a performance, works of the different groups can be compounded and engaged for making different performative structures. |

| Teaching Methods | Students constitutes 3-4 person groups and make research on the subject of the week with their own bodies and they present their research as performances. They produce these 2d and 3d representations of these performances and in the end of the semester they design a performance. Students also writes their experiences through the class after every class and there will be a discussion about the meaning and narrative which is constituted by the movement. | |||||||||||||||
| Homework and Projects | Student groups will design small performances each class and they will make a final project | |||||||||||||||
| Laboratory Work | yes (studio) | |||||||||||||||
| Computer Use | yes | |||||||||||||||
| Other Activities | Discussions about every small performance made in the classes, drawing and modelling the performances | |||||||||||||||
