About The Stanford Theater Laboratory

Now in its second year, the Stanford Theater Laboratory was established by doctoral students of Stanford University's Department of Drama to foster the integration of practical and scholarly theater study within the framework of a collaborative community. Thirty years ago, the department's Doctoral Program realized a new model for theatre studies by merging theater history and theory with a practical program in directing. In keeping with this vision of an integral, mutually enriching relationship between artistic practice, scholarship, and pedagogy, throughout the summer of 2003 the graduate-directed Theater Laboratory brought together theatre production, practical workshops in acting and directorial method, and colloquia devoted to the relationship between research and directorial practice. This performance is part of a conference, "Theory in Practice", which showcases aspects of the summer's work and provides a forum for the presentation of continued theatrical research.
