Master Class with Peter Ksander | Sat Jan 11 | 12 – 2pm
On the Boards Mainstage Lobby | FREE!

Maybe we don’t paint anymore?
This Master Class is a lecture / conversation with scenographer Peter Ksander on what Theater is in the 21st century and how we as artists can wield it as a tool. Join Ksander in a conversation (with opinions) on the nature of Theater (what’s it good for? what’s it good at?), Genre Shift, Scenography, Inertial Frames, and Brecht’s Car Crash metaphor. Open to all artists looking to exchange ideas about Theater’s current state; how it could be further defined and function in our increasingly mediated lives.
