Mazur's research explores immersive performance, the blurring of lines between experiencing and becoming performance, intersections of interactive installation and performance art, and the integration of extended reality (XR) technologies into the performing arts for accessibility and expanded storytelling. Her academic interests encompass gender and political theater, theater for social change, trauma representation in performance and design, gender identity and costume design, devised performance, site-specific scenic design and performance, installation and exhibit design, and augmented and virtual reality in live performance art. She maintains an active national and international design profile, emphasizing the development of new works and the foregrounding of femme voices through predominately women- and femme-led production teams. At UTA, her contributions include the immersive interactive performance installation in/e motion, featured in faculty creative works and presented at the Prague Quadrennial.
