Description
|
Project 30 is an opportunity for theatre artists to take a chance and collaborate on 30 minutes of raw theatre every month. After a show is over, participants for the upcoming Project 30 put their name in a hat. First the writers are chosen, then the directors, then the actors; all having been grouped into 5 or 6 casts that will each stage a 5 or 6 minute play in 3 weeks. The writers have 1 week to complete their scripts that will all be about a pre-chosen theme/topic. Past Project 30 themes include: taking a huge risk, succumbing to the power of fugly and getting your heart stomped on. Typically the writer will have to include other pre-chosen, random elements like a whistled rendition of "Oh What A Beautiful Morning" or a text message or a dramatically timed burp. The directors and casts have 2 weeks or more precisely (and stipulated), 9 hours of rehearsal plus one dress rehearsal, before performing at a Lower East Side bar, where all the plays are set. Project 30 is a monthly opportunity to risk, to go all out, in front of a crowd of sweaty, drunken people. Project 30 began in the winter of 2005 and over 500 actors, directors and writers have participated in it since then. In March of 2006, Project 30 began in Paris and it was an immediate success, playing to sold-out audiences. It is also being staged monthly in Denver. A theatre/performance/improv/stand up background is highly recommended but guts are a must. Many of the Project 30 actors, writers and directors are frequent participants, who are passionate about raw theatre and ensemble ethics, expecting nothing less than the same from future collaborators.
