Alice: A Variation on Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland is a new take on Carroll's classic tales crafting a story of a young girl named Alice Pleasance Liddell and the relationship she develops with Charles Dodgson (alias Lewis Carroll). Overcoming her parents' stifling indifference, Alice discovers her creativity through adventures on the other side of the looking glass, conquering her fears as she approaches a vision of her true self.

The play is framed within a conversation between Carroll and Liddell, who was the inspiration for the fictional Alice character. This devised narrative movement piece was developed through a collaborative process grounded in ensemble. The play was first produced by Belmont University's Department of Theatre and Dance in Nashville, Tennessee.
