CCM Idea Lab

The CCM Idea Lab is a collaborative cross-disciplinary class involving students and faculty from throughout the college.

The CCM Idea Lab explores technical, artistic and philosophical questions through the creation of short performance pieces that showcase the work of students and faculty from CCM Lighting Design and Technology, Sound Design and Technology, Technical Production, Stage Management, Dance, Acting, Voice, Musical Theatre and Media Production.

The CCM Idea Lab is made possible with support of UC Faculty Forward and has released seven multimedia projects in 2020-21.
