The audience will join the artists on stage for this exploration of what the audience does, or doesn’t, need to know.

This cross-disciplinary group will explore the questions: Where do your narratives come from? Are they important to the success of your creative projects? How can stories be of use to the design process? What makes a narrative a narrative? How much is enough? What is too much?

Presented in partnership with the UMD Jiménez-Porter Writer's House
