Then, as a group, you will create the performance. This play is sure to be as weird, bold, complicated, frightening, and fun as the people in the rehearsal room! Youth Arts Center To prepare, you will read, dissect, and discuss plays by contemporary playwrights— playwrights who currently are expanding and exploding. You will analyze texts on both a structural level (How is this play built?) and a sociopolitical one (What does this play have to say about the world we live in?). The syllabus will include works by exciting theatre makers, including Rinne Groff, Victoria Stewart, Kimber Lee, Branden Jacobs-Jenkins, Dan Dietz, Kristoffer Diaz, and more. You will also have classes in technical theater, in which you will help create the set for your show. You will learn how this creation process is intimately tied to creating the text of the piece. You will start every day with voice and movement classes including yoga. In the third week, you will have a monologue workshop where you will receive two appropriate monologues and individual and group coaching. Devised Performance Devising, as a practice, is a way of creating a play that does not begin with an individual writer’s script, but rather collaboratively assembling content by a company of artists. Methods for devising a play are endless; they can grow out of improvisation, dance, design, music, and architecture... any process that suits the work being created. Typical Daily Schedule: Monday–Friday 8–5: Classes and workshops 6:30–9: Rehearsals and technical theater production as called.
