Ball State metals students prepare to graduate and showcase their theses

It only took one class. Kinzee Davis and Victoria Stout started in drawing. Arielle Birk started in animation, and Kelsey Bobrowski wanted to pursue the same. But after getting a taste of metals, each of the students decided a focus in metals is what they needed to go after. “I saw metals and signed up for it not really thinking much of it, didn't really know what all it entailed, but I immediately fell in love with it …” Davis said. “Just everything about it.

They want the cast to think about the things they would like to improve during the rehearsal and think about the way they want the rehearsal to go.  For Allison-Harty, the intention was simple: tell a story about the climate crisis with an emphasis on sustainability in production.
