Newsletter

Urban Research Theater's monthly newsletter has been discontinued, replaced by an open online forum for discussion of art and practice. We will post upcoming news and events to the forum, as well as "notes from the studio" and other content. In addition, guest contributors from a wide range of disciplines and locations will be invited to write from their own experience. In this way we hope that a lively and polyvocal community discussion will envolve around the concept of creative practice.

Please visit the new forum:
