The Civilians' R&D Group
Deadline: June 15, 2017
The Civilians' R&D Group meets biweekly for nine months, during which time each artist or team of artists develops a new piece of theater through a creative investigation of a topic chosen by each artist. The creative process may include interviewing, community engagement, research, or other experimental methods of inquiry. Led by R&D Program Director (and Lark staff member!) Megan McClain, the artists share and discuss their methodologies and the resulting work. The process will culminate in a FINDINGS series in May of 2017, when the groups present their works-in-progress to the public.
