The idea came out of a desire to take two seemingly unrelated worlds and bring them together to provide a real-world computing experience in a theatrical improvisational setting.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAfter becoming familiar with the theory and practices of improv, the nine students enrolled in the class came up with a number of concepts for adding computing driven special effects to an improv show, followed by meetings with a number of improvisers from Dad\u0027s Garage. The collaborative effort identified the ideas the group wished to pursue and the students have been busy implementing those effects.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EStudents are put in a situation where they must develop a system to make the magic happen and it has to work first time - there is no ability to send out weekly patches to faulty software that are discovered in actual use. The group will be putting their skills to the test at an actual Dad\u0027s Garage improv show.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022http:\/\/sa1.seatadvisor.com\/sabo\/servlets\/TicketRequest?eventId=200529\u0026amp;presenter=DADS\u0026amp;venue=\u0026amp;event\u0022 target=\u0022_blank\u0022\u003EClick here to purchase tickets.\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"The students of CS 4803: Computational Improv add computational technology to improv at Dad\u0027s Garage"}],"uid":"27154","created_gmt":"2010-04-13 17:59:00","changed_gmt":"2016-10-08 01:51:18","author":"Louise Russo","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2010-04-22T23:30:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2010-04-23T01:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2010-04-23T01:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2010-04-23 03:30:00","gmt_time_end":"2010-04-23 05:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2010-04-23 05:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"47223","name":"College of Computing"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"9162","name":"CompuProv"},{"id":"9163","name":"Computational Improv"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1791","name":"Student sponsored"}],"invited_audience":[],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EBill Leahy\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022mailto:william.leahy@cc.gatech.edu\u0022\u003Ewilliam.leahy@cc.gatech.edu\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","format":"limited_html"}],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
