The Department of Theatre Presents: Obsessions Lab

A devised work facilitated by Shana Carroll

Obsessions Lab is an exploration of devising performance from the perspective of deep, creative research. Within a process for making new  work, oftentimes the collection phase feels the most satisfying and generative, with exciting connections and new learning firing continually. Obsessions Lab poses the question: what if the research was the performance? Would the feeling of newness and excitement be squashed by this redefinition? Would it be impermeable for an audience? Through this practice, students will dive into the strange obsessions that fuel creative process and ultimately interrogate what it means to make experimental performance in this moment.
