a part of This Is Important!, An
Ensemble-Creation Experience
We
are looking for young leaders, artists and visionaries to join us in the
creation of a new play with music. This will be built from
the ground up by members of the company, working with Oddfellows Playhouse
Artistic Director Dic Wheeler and Connecticut State Troubadour Nekita Waller.
During five
Creation Workshops this winter, the Company will start by identifying the
current issues (personal, social, political, societal) that have the most
urgency for members of the group. We
will use writing, interviewing, improvisation, role plays, movement,
song-writing and composition to develop material around these issues. This raw material
will be shaped into an original play which will be performed in May on the main
stage by the Oddfellows Teen Repertory Company.
10
Teen
Leader Awards of $125 are available to individuals ages 15 – 20 who
actively participate in all 5 Creation Workshops.
Anyone participating in the
workshops is encouraged (but not required) to audition for the Spring
production. 14 year olds and those not able to commit to all 5 workshops are
welcome to participate, but are not eligible for stipends. Anyone ages 14 – 20
is welcome to one or all Creation Workshops and is encouraged to audition for
the show!
