Abstract
To go “off script” is to deviate from a prepared text, plan, or set of instructions. It means for something to not behave or happen as expected as planned. Thus far in Lauren’s life, everything has for the most part stuck to the script. From elementary school through undergraduate studies, Lauren has yet to skip a beat. But for the first time in her life, through her time at Berklee NYC, Lauren has learned to go off script both as an artist, songwriter, and producer but also as an individual. Lauren’s Culminating Experience at Berklee NYC entails a year-long process of exploration in new sonic soundscapes, storytelling, and production tools. This work’s purpose is to debut Lauren’s skills in production and mixing, while elevating her already established voice as an alternative folk songwriter, vocalist, instrumentalist, and overall artistic identity.
