TRANSMIGRATION festival of student works returns to CCM March 9-11
Admission to the event is free; ticket reservations are required
UC's College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) presents six original, student-created works in the Acting Department’s TRANSMIGRATION Festival, which runs Wednesday, March 9, through Friday, March 11, 2022, throughout CCM Village.
TRANSMIGRATION, so named for “the movement from one place to another” or “the transition from one state of being to another,” features six teams of CCM Acting students who craft and perform original 30-minute shows simultaneously in different locations throughout CCM Village. Produced by CCM Acting Professor Brant Russell, this unique festival has presented more than 60 original productions over the past 12 years.
The artists of tomorrow are talking, come hear what they have to say! TRANSMIGRATION audience members will have the opportunity to experience six different student-created works of their choosing:
