About this Event

Join us for the annual student-directed and student-choreographed dance production, Random With a Purpose XXXIV: The Experiment, presented by the Department of Performance, Play & Design at UC Santa Cruz.

The Experiment serves as a platform for collaborators to develop work that does not yet exist in the physical world and to reimagine elements of our community. This show seeks to answer the question: What might our lives look like if everyone approached the world with a willingness to break from norms and had the space to experiment?

-Directed by Brennah Lyons and Lydia Wallman
