everett theatre workshop
Everett is an ensemble of artists creating, performing, teaching and engaging a diverse community through the arts. Guiding Everett’s mission is a deep belief in collaboration, experimentation and the artist’s role in creating a just, equitable and joyous future. Our Company, Stage and School work in concert to build and support this vision. Everett productions are developed through a research-driven multi-year process that is improvisational, collaborative, and curious: the process is a tool to examine questions of urgent interest to the ensemble and to society. For over twenty-five years, Everett has been devising multidisciplinary dance theater works, many of which have toured nationally to substantial critical acclaim.
Saturday Workshop (2.30-4pm)
This workshop welcomes participants into Everett’s creative process for Freedom Project, an upcoming dance/theater piece that will examine issues related to mass incarceration in America. In the workshop we will role-play various situations where racial profiling comes into play. These scenarios will be drawn from Company and audience member’s experiences. A variety of theater and dance exercises will be utilized to help participants inhabit and explore the scenes that we develop together. We will examine these issues through both a serious and comedic lens. Humor can open up new perspectives on difficult situations and often provide fresh ways to explore them. Recent neuroscience research has shown that we are more open to learning and new ideas when we are laughing.
The workshop is open to 20 participants.
