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

What are we working on this semester?

Join Teaching Artists Braden and Maddy for a semester of Movement. Over the course of a 6-week semester, we’ll explore ABLE’s season theme of Memory while moving our bodies and building ensemble through games and activities drawn from physical theatre, clowning, and more. The semester will culminate in a 30 minute showcase where we share some of our favorite solo and group activities at The Edge Theatre.

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 more than 1 rehearsal, 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. 

Health & Safety

We are an ensemble and have to support each other. One easy way to show support for our community members who are immunocompromised or high risk is to wear a mask. A.B.L.E. recommends masks at all in-person sessions to help care for the most vulnerable among us. 

Financial Assistance

A.B.L.E. is committed to ensuring our programs are financially accessible for everyone. We will never turn anyone away because of finances. At sign up, you will be able to choose a pricing scale that works for you. You will also have the option of setting up a payment plan at check out.
