Winter Play: Experimental Theater Project

The Experimental Theater Project is a workshop style, student-driven process, exploring various theater styles and immersing students in the experience of creating a piece of theater. Recent topics have included Theater of The Oppressed, Comedia del Arte, Neofuturist, Immersion Theater and Radio Plays. In this unique theatrical experience, plays may be devised or taken from source material. The term culminates in three public performances. Placing equal focus on the process as well as the product, students build collaboration, creative problem solving, empathy, and leadership skills as well as performance skills. Students entering this process should be highly motivated and interested in an intense and exciting experience that requires a great deal of commitment and collaboration. 
Rehearsals are each day from 3:45pm-5:30pm. In the weeks leading up to the performances, Saturday rehearsals are added as well as late rehearsals ending at 6:30pm the week before the show, 9:00pm the week of the show, and later into the evening for the actual performances. Past projects have included The Boal Project, 30 plays in 60 minutes and The Arte of Comedy. Participation in the play will be confirmed following auditions.
