THEA 215 - Neo-Futurist Performance Workshop with Greg Allen


Semester Offered: Second Semester, Second Module
Credits (Range): 1 Hour
Attribute: 1 HU

New Course Added 01.16.2009.

This one week workshop (Mar. 30-Apr. 4) will introduce students to the basic theory and practice of Neo-Futurism - a new form of personal, non-illusory, audience-interactive performance. Students will be given assignments based on randomness, environment, gesture, found text, collage, and autobiography to create their own original two minute plays. The workshop will conclude the evening of Sat. April 4th with a public performance of short pieces devised and performed by the students. There is no need to have theater experience to sign up - just the willingness and creativity to explore your actual life and immediate surroundings on stage. Workshop led by Greg Allen, who founded The Neo-Futurists in 1988. The Neo-Futurists is an ensemble of artists who write, direct, and perform original experimental theater in the form of interactive non-fiction performance.
 
Instructor: R. Copeland, G. Allen
