dc.description.abstractAs a culminating thesis project my Master of Fine Arts degree in Film and Television, chose to create a theatrical production that incorporated multiple video projections as well as performance forms such as dance, drama, music and ritual. This explication then begins answering the question, 'how does a student of film and television production engage with live performance and create a theatrical event as opposed to a DVD as a final outcome?' The 'why' lies in the hypothesis contained in the title of the explication "Layering Time: The Representation of Tradition in Contemporary Multi Media Performance." I was exposed to multimedia techniques at the University of Hartford in America while pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree. Through the Master of Fine Arts in Film and Television programme at the University of Cape Town, South Africa, J wished to expand and deepen what I had learnt as an undergraduate student. The result of this effort was my thesis production. The theme of the production and the concept of layering time dealt with the importance of continuity and representations of traditional culture in a contemporary world, which is a layering of past and present. As a multi-media production,WaterFeels, was also an exploration of conceptual relationships between different art forms and the potential in this use of mixed media for notions of past and present time to exist simultaneously.en_ZA
