Ob·ject Lessons
Saturday, February 5th through Saturday, February 12th
|  Ob·ject Lessons debuts videos recently produced by the 2012 Master of Fine Arts in Acting candidates from the OSU Department of Dance. Within the limitations of one camera and one microphone, graduate students wrote, taped, acted, directed and edited their own projects led by the Department of Theatre's Assistant Professor Janet Parrott.
Creating a "cinema/video sketchbook," these works illustrate in time an otherwise transitory performance-based practice. Ob·ject Lessons also features previous 2010 work by some participating graduate students.
