About the project
What does it mean to be a creator? Where does inspiration come from? What is the utility of failure? Using heightened visual storytelling and physical theatre, CROOKED FIGURE examines the origin of genius and the often dangerous power behind the creative process.
CROOKED FIGURE is part of the 2015 Mead Theatre Lab program, a project of CULTURAL DC.
It will be presented as a work-in-progress on February 2nd, 2015 in the Source Theater Rehearsal Room at 7:30pm. This performance will be Pay-what-you-can.
