PRODUCTION STUDY
Do you need to register for and/or sign up for Production Study crew hours?
A reminder of Production Study graduation requirements:
BFA & BA: 2 credits = 80 hours of crew
Minor: 1 credit = 40 hours of crew
Please be reminded that signing up for a show crew is a serious and important commitment that you receive credit for. The following rules will be in place from now on.
- Sign-up sheets are posted on the board between studios 111 and 112. Please look CAREFULLY at the dates and times listed. If you cannot make a date or time, check in with Jacqueline Reid before signing up. Some conflicts can be worked out, some cannot. Check with Jacqueline first.
- Once you’ve signed up for crew, do not cross off your name without checking with Jacqueline first. Anyone crossing off their name on their own will be penalized the amount of hours they signed up for—for example, if you signed up for 20, you will be penalized 20 hours.
- Cancelling your crew commitment without medical or other emergency reasons/documentation within a week of the commitment will also result in penalty. Please note emergencies include car accidents and deaths in the family. Studying for an exam is not an emergency.
The performances of you and your peers are dependent on people committing
with focus to their crew hours. Please respect the work of your peers and
the department by treating the commitment to crew as an important part of
your semester.
Email Jacqueline Reid (jacqreid@rci.rutgers.edu) if you have crew questions.

Performed by Kate Martel, Michael Ingle, Jennifer Sydor, and Laura Peterson
Composer/Sound Designer: Joe Diebes
How far away is the future? What happens to your body when you think about the future? What will happen to us? The Futurist is an evening-length dance by Laura Peterson Choreography with sound installation by composer Joe Diebes where moving sound sources and speakers transform into costumes, furniture, or landscapes, and complex choreography physicalizes states of dread, hope, anticipation, and excitement of imagined possible futures. Drawn from interviews with diverse groups of participants, The Futurist explores the questions we ask about the future.
