Out of the Box

Last weekend the Providence Ballet Theatre premiered The Magic Box, a new piece by choreographer Eva Marie Pacheco and composer Roger Seitz. RISD students created the set design and costumes in a Wintersession studio taught by Sculpture Critic Jane South and Interior Architecture Critic and Brown Theatre Arts and Performance Studies Lecturer Michael McGarty. Funding for the studio came from RISD’s newly launched Robert L. Turner Theatrical and Performance Design initiative, backed by NYC-based theater aficianado Robert Turner 74 IL.
