Research Summary
ara Brown is an associate professor in the Music and Theater Arts Section. She develops stage designs for theater, opera, and dance by approaching the scenographic space as a catalyst for collective imagination. Her work is rooted in curiosity and interdisciplinary collaboration, and spans virtual environments, immersive performance installations, and evocative stage landscapes. Her recent projects include “Carousel” at the Boston Lyric Opera; the virtual dance performance “The Other Shore” at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art and Jacob’s Pillow; and “The Lehman Trilogy” at the Huntington Theatre Company. Her upcoming co-directed work, “Circlusion,” takes place within a fully immersive inflatable space and reimagines the female body’s response to power and violence. Her designs have been seen at the BAM Next Wave Festival in New York, the Festival d’Automne in Paris, and the American Repertory Theater in Cambridge.
