The Innovation Studio is a theater research laboratory. The studio’s rigorous training disrupts the inherited processes of collaboration and theater making. Engaging technology as a central collaborator, the training views theater as a transdisciplinary arts practice strategically blurring the lines between performance, direction, management, scholarship, and design. Aligning with Tisch Drama’s mission and reflecting NYU’s research goals, the studio interjects physical training, technology, scholarship, and art making towards innovative practices that expand the limits of the field to shape theater making for the 21st century.
