OPEN STUDIOS | Curated by Ann Marie Dorr

Theatermaker and playwright Ann Marie Dorr curates OPEN STUDIOS, thinking through how we can bring the outside or the inside-out parts of our practices to light. They have invited lighting designers Itohan Edoloyi, Kate McGee, and Jacqueline Scaletta to share works inspired by this notion, to see what kinds of conversations can emerge.
