Inspired by cutting edge theatre works, Full Fathom was created to merge the theatre and film world to produce artistic works that challenge one's perceptions of art.
Founded at Emerson College by Maeve Chapman and Phebe Wickham, Full Fathom aims to change the definition of art in new and innovative ways.
