About the play
Discover what happens when the next generation of theatre makers team up with one of the country’s most celebrated creators of original performance. In this unique collaboration, the University of Arkansas graduate theatre cohort joins T2 and the New York-based Tectonic Theatre Project (The Laramie Project, Here There Are Blueberries) to create a documentary theatre experience that confronts the shadowy lines between truth and fiction.
About Tectonic Theater Project / The Moment Work Institute / University of Arkansas Department of Theatre
TECTONIC THEATER PROJECT
Tectonic Theater Project is a developmental company that creates and produces works for the stage that rigorously explore theatrical language and form. Based in New York City, we build plays from the ground up and bring new life to existing scripts on stages across the United States and around the world. Our core values are courage and risk taking, innovation, theatricality, social & political change, and egalitarianism: everyone has a voice in the creation of new work.
Moment Work™ is the groundbreaking process of devising new work developed by Moisés Kaufman and Tectonic Theater Project to create works such as Here There Are Blueberries, The Laramie Project, Gross Indecency: The Three Trials of Oscar Wilde, and 33 Variations, among others. Moment Work explores the theatrical potential of all the elements of the stage in order to create strong theatrical and dramatic narratives from the ground up. Moment Work gives us the freedom to create individual, self-contained theatrical units (Moments) and to sequence these units together into theatrical phrases that eventually become a play.
THE MOMENT WORK INSTITUTE
The Moment Work Institute is a training ground for artists, students, and educators. Moment Work removes barriers to learning by tapping into the natural curiosity and imagination of the Moment Maker. The technique provides a pragmatic approach to creativity and creative expression.
UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS THEATER DEPARTMENT
The University of Arkansas' Department of Theatre, is a professional training program dedicated to carefully nurturing a select group of theatre artists.
The UArk Theatre Program offers an expert faculty - a group of gifted professionals, passionate about theatre and the art of teaching and an extremely well-crafted program that's small enough to address students face-to-face, individual-to-individual, and large enough to offer a full range of learning opportunities.
