School
An 8 hr devised performance investigating the role of hire education
Directed by Melissa Carter
Spring 2017
"4 scholars gather in 1 classroom for 8 hours in an effort to discover: What is the role of the undergraduate liberal arts institution in American society, now?
This piece was inspired by Gob Squad's Work*, a performance that took place from 9AM - 5PM, Monday - Friday in an office building. Work successfully reflected the experience of an office job. As I entered my final year as a student in an undergraduate institution, it seemed to be the right time to reflect upon the experience of the university in a piece called School. So, I formed the guiding question: What is the role of higher education in American society?"
