IML-575: World Building As a Design Practice for Storytelling Fall 2015, 4
IML-575: World Building as a Design Practice for Storytelling Fall 2015, 4 units Taught by Professor Alex McDowell Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 9:00 am - 11:50 am RZC 120 (Robert Zemeckis Center) Any storyteller can weave a compelling narrative, but world builders create storyworlds that can support myriad stories by multiple storytellers across disparate platforms –including those platforms for which there may not yet be a name. Such world building becomes even more powerful when it moves beyond transmedia entertainment experiences and tackles real-world challenges in real-world environments. IML 575: World Building as a Design Practice for Storytelling is a practice-based studio class that introduces world building as a comprehensive methodology that defines the connective tissue and logic of any story-driven world, allowing narratives to evolve organically and defining both history and future in either the real world or fictional ones. Students will learn: • the narrative designer’s art of world building • how to use world building to rethink existing narrative forms and practices • how to build compelling story worlds with new media technologies in mind Over the course of the semester, students will collaboratively create a new fictional storyworld, consulting with domain experts across multiple disciplines to ensure this world is imaginative, plausible and extensible. The robust, holistic and unified world developed in this class will support multiple narratives to be iterated, designed and prototyped by the class. These might include, but are not limited to, short films, animations, interactive media, comic books or VR experiences. In producing these narratives, the class will engage in design visualization, interactive prototyping, location scouting (virtual or real), research of environments, population, and inception, and development of characters and stories for various platforms. -
Death and the Powers Release
For Immediate Release: February 23, 2011 Contact: Kati Mitchell 617-495-2668 [email protected] American Repertory Theater in association with MIT’s FAST Arts Festival presents DEATH AND THE POWERS: The Robots’ Opera by Tod Machover directed by Diane Paulus March 18-25 Cutler Majestic Theatre at Emerson College When the eccentric patriarch Simon Powers departs his physical being and downloads himself into The System, his house assumes his immortal presence around his family and friends… So begins Death and the Powers, a groundbreaking new opera created by Tod Machover and his Opera of the Future Group at the MIT Media Lab, which receives its North American premiere at the American Repertory Theater. Performances take place at the Cutler Majestic Theater in Boston on March 18 (press opening), March 20, March 22, and March 25. The September 24, 2010 world premiere of Death and the Powers at l’Opéra de Monte-Carlo was praised by audiences and critics alike: “A grand, rich, deeply serious new opera, presented by a team with manifold, coherent accomplishments. Machover has a command of expressive vocal gesture. Voices and electronic sound are well balanced, often with telling counterpoints. Diane Paulus’s staging and Alex McDowell’s scenes were dazzling in their inventions.” — Opera magazine, London “The technological triumph of linking voice to stage, and the acoustical instruments of the excellent orchestra to the synthesized instruments is impressive… Mr. Machover and his students invented magical machines. “ — Herald Tribune The libretto for Death and the Powers is written by U.S. Poet Laureate Robert Pinsky, story by Pinsky and Randy Weiner and directed by Diane Paulus, with choreography by Karole Armitage. -

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract As popular music eclipsed Hollywood as the most powerful mode of seduction of Western youth, rock-stars erupted through the counter-culture as potent political figures. Following its sensational arrival, the politics of popular musical culture has however moved from the shared experience of protest movements and picket lines and to an individualised and celebrified consumerist experience. As a consequence what emerged, as a controversial and subversive phenomenon, has been de-fanged and transformed into a mechanism of establishment support. -
Popularmusikforschung39-03: the Value of Live Music
THE VALUE OF LIVE MUSIC Simon Frith From April 2008 until April 2011 I directed a research project on live music in Britain.1 We are now writing up our findings,2 and since February 2012 we have had funding for a follow-up project, designed to establish ongoing links between academic researchers, the live music industry and the wider public.3 The original research project was organized around an investigation of the business of live music promotion and a crucial part of our method was interviewing. We talked to more than 100 promoters, from the MD of Live Nation in the UK and such big names as Harvey Goldsmith to local club owners and enthusiasts. We covered all types of music (including classical) — which is one reason why our findings will fill three books. One of my roles in the research team is to present our work to the live music industry itself, whether by attending their trade events and writing for their trade papers or by inviting them to seminars we organise. Such »knowledge exchange« (to use current academic jargon) is not without its problems and two kinds of miscommunication between university-based researchers and live music industry players particular interest me (and have informed the design of our follow up project). First, we apparently have quite different interpretations of a shared phrase, »the value of live music«. Their take is, it seems, straightforwardly economic: the value of live music can be measured by how much money people are prepared to pay for it. Our approach, by contrast, is more philo- sophical (or up our own backsides, as the industry would say): what is it that people think they are paying for? What exactly do they value?

Was he surprised at its success? ‘A little,’ he admits. ‘The first thing I said to (concert promoter) Harvey Goldsmith was “do you think anyone will come?”’ Come they did, and in their thousands, as Zimmer and his hand-picked ensemble played to packed arenas across the globe. But playing a Zimmer score live in concert is no easy feat. ‘I’ve written so many things that are not easy to pull off in front of a live audience,’ he Symphonic Brando: explains, ‘because I use odd line-ups.

The Clash and Mass Media Messages from the Only Band That Matters
THE CLASH AND MASS MEDIA MESSAGES FROM THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS Sean Xavier Ahern A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2012 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Kristen Rudisill © 2012 Sean Xavier Ahern All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This thesis analyzes the music of the British punk rock band The Clash through the use of media imagery in popular music in an effort to inform listeners of contemporary news items. I propose to look at the punk rock band The Clash not solely as a first wave English punk rock band but rather as a “news-giving” group as presented during their interview on the Tom Snyder show in 1981. I argue that the band’s use of communication metaphors and imagery in their songs and album art helped to communicate with their audience in a way that their contemporaries were unable to. Broken down into four chapters, I look at each of the major releases by the band in chronological order as they progressed from a London punk band to a globally known popular rock act. Viewing The Clash as a “news giving” punk rock band that inundated their lyrics, music videos and live performances with communication images, The Clash used their position as a popular act to inform their audience, asking them to question their surroundings and “know your rights.” iv For Pat and Zach Ahern Go Easy, Step Lightly, Stay Free. v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This thesis would not have been possible without the help of many, many people. -

Storytelling Shapes the Future
DOI:10.6531/JFS.201903_23(3).0009 ESSAY .105 Storytelling Shapes the Future Alex McDowell University of Southern California USA I started my career in narrative media in 1976, designing albums and music videos for artists like Iggy Pop and the Cure. From 1990 to 2012 I was a production designer in the film industry, working with Steven Spielberg, Terry Gilliam, Tim Burton, David Fincher and others. In 2012 I joined USC as a professor of practice and research. In these past four decades I have worked in cinema, animation, theater, opera, video, graphic and web design, publishing, commercials, music videos, fine art and printmaking. I am now co-founder and creative director of radical design studio Experimental Design in Los Angeles, and a professor at USC School of Cinematic Arts where I run a lab, institute and class devoted to worldbuilding. Worldbuilding is a narrative and systems design practice that exists at the intersection of design, technology and storytelling. For 30 years I’ve been working in film, and over the years that has made me think deeply about the notion of storytelling. Storytelling started as a way to make sense of the world around us. The earliest tribal storytellers, as they told their evolving stories around the fire, used metaphor to explain the unknown in terms that their community would understand. They looked at that silver disc crossing the sky and translated it into a story of a princess in a chariot, and these metaphors established the first principles of storytelling. Tribal storytelling not only made sense of the world, but also started creating codes for that world. -
