Our projects feature theatre, film, games, installations, and other artistic endeavors, with deep interest in exploring technology’s role in communicating complex scientific principles

Theatre

The Art of Questionable Provenance
Entanglement

STAGE theatre projects explore the future of live performance by investigating current methods of storytelling, challenging the traditional scopes imposed on scientists and artists, and innovating new means of making sense of our world.

Bend, Fold, Break
The Information Palace
Molecular Gastronomy
The River Project
Symmetry
Curiosity - The Making of a Scientist
Superposition

Film

Serendipity
Unbound

From initial brainstorming, gathering of footage, post-production, and distribution, each STAGE film is a research project encompassing storytelling, science communication, and filmmaking.

GAMES

The Quantum Casino
Board Games

The Center has created a suite of games called the Quantum Casino (also known as the Quantum Arcade and the Quantum Carnival) that explores how cooperative and competitive game play can afford a better intuition for and understanding of what quantum physics is, along with an appreciation for what advantages may be attained by leveraging quantum technologies.

Using creative game play as a core method of public engagement, STAGE’s analog and digital games foster a welcoming, accessible, and fun learning atmosphere.

Beyond

Quantum Influencer
Living Information

STAGE projects explore the future of artistic and scientific integration, boldly expanding the bounds of conventional invention, knowledge, and communication to create new portals of imagination.

Research

STAGE: Core Principles of Quantum Mechanics
A Multidisciplinary, Artistic Approach to Broadening the Accessibility of Quantum Science

A critical outcome of the STAGE research process is the testing and reporting of interdisciplinary techniques. The attached publications are examples of how the STAGE team contributes to creative conversations through the compilation and sharing of our findings.
