This course invites students to explore how artistic identity is shaped by social responsibility, collaboration, and creative practice. Through hands-on experimentation, students examine how musical and interdisciplinary expression can address urgent societal themes and make them tangible for diverse audiences. The seminar culminates in the design and presentation of an interactive concert-lab: a public event where students test new dramaturgies, formats of audience participation, and creative mediation strategies. The process emphasizes collective learning, cross-disciplinary exchange, and critical reflection on the role of the artist in societal transformation.

By the end of the course, students can:
- Articulate an evolving artist/artist-researcher identity in relation to a chosen societal theme (e.g., transformation, sustainability, migration, AI & creativity).
- Design an innovative concert-lab format (space, dramaturgy, audience interaction, mediation artifacts).
- Collaborate across roles (music, curation, communication, research, production) with peers and practice partners.
- Facilitate audience dialogue and evaluate impact (documentation, quick ethnographic notes, feedback loops).
