About Live Lab: CultureHub is developing an interactive livestream venue to offer an enhanced viewing experience which includes a lobby, chat, and more. If you’d like to try watching the livestream on the CultureHub Broadcaster
Make sure you’re using a computer (laptop or desktop, not a phone or tablet) and ensure you are using the google chrome web browser. We’re using these livestreams to test our new online venue, so we appreciate you testing it out and any feedback you may have. If you run into trouble with this experience, you can always choose to watch at the other link above.
CLASS DISMISSED celebrates the exuberance of young minds imagining a future of possibility – in an intellectually exhausted and emotionally self-absorbed pataphysical academia. Two grad-students hallucinate a post-capitalist manifesto; while your favorite professor slides into dementia; and his nemesis – the Other-Lit-Professor – performs love poems inspired by her affair in a prestigious artist colony.
Anticipate your (consensual) participation as we invite the audience onstage to eat bread, drink rum, write on the set with chalk, and swap books that you bring to the show. With live music, and a different guest artist at each performance, this is the grad school you wish you went to!
