Have you ever wanted to see what it's like to be in on the ground floor of a theatrical production? Have you ever wanted to explore theater and dance but never had the opportunity to do so? Would you like to interact with other students, faculty, and staff while participating in a free, performing arts program at UCONN/Stamford?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then come to our Drama & Dance Creative Workshop on Friday, April 22nd at 2:30 pm in the Schreiber Reading Room (2nd floor). Felice Lesser, Adjunct Professor of Dance, needs participants for the second developmental workshop for her new play TRAP IST, which will be premiered in New York City in November.
TRAP IST is Lesser’s multi-media, science fiction fantasy with a full-length script, live dance, video and interactive technology. As a nuclear holocaust destroys earth, an egomaniacal A.I transports a group of dancers (and the audience) to the seemingly uninhabited Trappist 1-e to serve as its slaves in developing it. The humans revolt against their A.I. captor. But soon we learn there is another force at play in this battle.
No prior experience in theater or dance is required. During the workshop we will read scenes from the play, and experiment with how audience members will experience it. (The actual audience plays an important part in the work.) In future sessions, we will also experiment with some of the interactive technology that will be used in the work.
Please RSVP to Ms. Lesser at the email below, so she knows how many people to expect:
