Princeton Students Adapt 1930s LGBTQ+ Clinical Studies to Theater in Sex Variants Atelier Course

On December 5 in New South, Princeton students hosted an informal collaborative workshop performance from the fall 2022 Atelier course Sex Variants, taught by theater writer/director Steve Cosson and multimedia artist Jessica Mitrani, which focused on a theatrical interrogation of the book Sex Variants: A Study of Homosexual Patterns. The book features interviews with LGBTQ+ individuals in the 1930s, and the class took a creative deep dive into these autobiographical accounts, manifesting strategies to adapt the text into performance.
