About the Collaborative Theatre Project:
The class formed two theatre companies. Each ensemble worked collaboratively to create and perform a piece of original theatre that they developed from a starting point. The overall intentions, structure, and content of the piece was collaboratively decided and devised by the ensemble and is presented to an audience as a fully realized production. Students develop and apply their individual performance skills and each student contributes artistically to the development and/or staging of the piece as a creator, designer, and/or director. Following each performance the ensemble will engage in a talkback session with the audience to gather feedback from the audience to guide their evaluations of the extent to which the piece fulfilled the ensemble’s intentions.
Information about the two theatre pieces:
Mindscapes Theatre Company:
Students: Pierson Eckert, Jamie Hoffman, Persy Moll, Bri Spicci, Juniper Thomas, Kristen Trujillo, and Ace Wahlers
Piece: Thought Bubbles
Synopsis: Thought Bubble is an abstract take on the fear of growing up that focuses on portraying its inevitability. Our intention developed on the basis that we are all juniors-seniors in high school and are facing these fears in real time.
Tidal Wave Theatre Company:
Students: Carter Davis, Jude Hare, Tanner Murphy, Gia Triassi, Abby Varel, Jesse Wayner, Elise Woods
Piece: Inside Consciousness
Synopsis: Inside Consciousness follows an extended family, the O’Brian’s, and Thompson’s, struggling through miscommunications, resentments, and arguments.
