About Us
INTERDISCIPLINARY ARTISTS AGGREGATION
- Interdisciplinary Artists Aggregation, Inc. (IAA), addresses issues of innovation, artistic creation, social awareness, global community, and justice through the practice of artistic creation.
- IAA aspires to continually develop unique methods of creative and critical thinking, improvisation, and problem solving through collective artistic engagement.
- Explore relationships among art, design, and technology, and realize the potential for three-dimensional imagining in each area of the school
- Novatopia is our online production facility designed to enable artists from all disciplines to discover points of intersection among different art forms and learns to work across the boundaries of any areas of expertise.
- Our resources allow professional artists, scholars, and anyone seeking to study the expressive, sensory, verbal, technological, and historical contexts that inform creativity to facilitate the manifestation of their creative goals.
Although our organization is open to all art forms one of the main strengths is music. In addition to visual and kinetic arts Interdisciplinary Artists Aggregation, Inc. seeks to expand community awareness of contemporary creative arts. African American and other contemporary art forms, spontaneous creations, improvisation and other interdisciplinary concepts have long been misunderstood and therefore sparsely supported by the public. One primary goal of IAA is to create proper environments for the presentation of creative works where the artists involved have a vehicle to communicate with audiences directly. This type of direct communication help to liberate our artists from the dictates of stylized commercial formulas and attitudes used to control the public's taste.
Proposed Novatopia Divisions:
- CSPC - collaborative innovative production network
- IAA Resource Center - a network of related goods and services designed to create the intellectual, physical, and virtual needs of our clients
- IAA Distribution Web - a network of artists, businesses, funding agencies, and promotional guidance and information aimed to get productions out into the world community expediently and with consistently high quality of presentation.
- A full range of interdisciplinary creative educational courses.
NOVATOPIA, A Creative Synergy Production Company, is an affiliate partner of the Interdisciplinary Artists Aggregation, Inc. (IAA). NOVATOPIA creates exciting spaces for creative experimentation, where collaboration between art forms, technology, and cultural diversity are the dominant themes. Our mission is to foster, present, and nurture new forms of theatre, dance, music, digital media, visual arts, film, and spoken word. NOVATOPIA online production and professional coaching involves music, film, choreography, creative writing, drawing, storytelling, memoir, and oral history. Our unique environment and residencies supports and develops artists and creative managers through professional online resources, development coaching, programs, residencies, learning opportunities, scholarships, and commissions.
Another primary goal is education. The IAA will present online instruction and workshop/clinics to the community, young and old. Areas of discussion are an introduction to aural, visual, and kinetic presentations, and demonstrations of spontaneous composition, choreography and improvisation. IAA sponsors communal project development, lectures and performance series featuring guest artists from a diverse artistic spectrum.
Interdisciplinary Artists Aggregation has organized its goals, production line, and pedagogy between and among the fine and liberal arts, arts and technology, and arts and social action. IAA's three pillars reflect the interests and the range of work of our artists and faculty providing our students and faculty opportunities to work across, as well as within, the boundaries of such art forms as composition, filmmaking, dance, visual arts, photography, theatre, sculpture, drawing, design, animation, creative writing, non-fiction writing and technology. IAA is committed to exploring, "cross-, inter-, intra-, trans-, and post-disciplinary concepts, boundaries, and structures, as the world of the 21st century shifts the form and context of art making and approaches to creativity. The nature and conditions of the contemporary arts are increasingly expanded and challenged by new technologies. The investigation of art, art making, and new technologies constitutes the basic infrastructure of our production company and our curricular foundation. NOVATOPIA resources, guidance, and templates provide a way to explore those strategies between art making and new technologies. Professional artists and students can apply their interests in a wide range of areas including the art of improvisation, applied design, universal design, invention, and entrepreneurship. Other areas of intersection between arts and technology are explored continually as new emerging forms allow artists and students to engage questions of social responsibility and activism. Creative drama, prison literature, universal design, teaching multi-cultural art curricula, and dramatizing socio-cultural issues for new audiences are five current areas of investigation that embody our aspirations and pedagogical principle. Approach, through the practice of art making, the critical issues central to each art form
