Grad Lab
Year
Taught by a rotating series of SLC faculty and guest artists, this course focuses on developing the skills needed for a wide variety of techniques for the creation and development of new work in theatre. Ensemble acting, movement, design and fabrication, playwriting, devised work, and music performance are all explored. The class is a forum for workshops, master classes, and open rehearsals, with a focus on the development of critical skills. In addition, students in Grad Lab are expected to generate a new piece of theatre, to be performed for the SLC community, every month. These performances will include graduate and undergraduate students alike. Open to graduate students only.
