A.B.L.E. - Artists Breaking Limits & Expectations

What are we working on this semester?

Join Teaching Artists Lawrence and Kiaran as we begin to explore the theme of our 10th anniversary season: Memory! Over the course of a 6-week semester, the virtual ensemble will be focusing on movement and physicality. Through techniques drawn from physical theatre and devised performance, the ensemble will create group and solo pieces that get us up and moving in our own homes. The semester will culminate in a streamed final showcase. 

Schedule

Orientation: September 15 (a parent or caregiver should plan to attend with your actor) 

Rehearsals: September 22, September 29, October 6, October 20, October 27, November 3 (no rehearsal October 13) 

Final Celebration: November 10

Attendance

Theatre-making is a team effort. Your presence impacts not just you, but your scene partners and the rest of the group. We expect actors who commit to an ensemble will make rehearsal a priority. If you anticipate you will miss 1 or more rehearsals, please take a break this semester to make space for someone else. 

What happens in rehearsal?

A.B.L.E. sessions are 90 minutes. Activities vary every week, but every rehearsal follows the same basic format, so you’ll know what to expect. You will receive a social story with more details before your session.
