The Archeology of Whimsy will have it's first development workshop at the Strand Theater in Baltimore, MD, April 6th-19th, 2014.
❖ The exact rehearsal schedule is TBD, but we anticipate rehearsing in the afternoon and early evening. PARTICIPANTS NEED NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR THE ENTIRE TWO WEEKS! If you are interested in taking part but cannot commit to the entire two weeks, please contact us anyway. We are breaking down the workshop into several distinct components.
❖ The show is currently in its embryonic stages. We are embarking on a two-week collaborative devising process to develop the story through structured improvisations, group research and writing sessions, dérive-inspired urban excursions, movement, music, and play. The workshop is entirely developmental; it may culminate in a public event, but not an official performance.
❖ We are looking for artists with a range of artistic experience (circus performers, musicians, spoken word poets, filmmakers, etc.). We are eager to integrate myriad forms of storytelling early in the process in order to refine the story itself.
❖ We are looking for collaborators who are generous and adventurous; who consider themselves multifaceted storytellers, crafters of experiences, and elevators of consciousness; whose passion for art comes from a sense of civic duty and spiritual generosity, rather than ego; who embrace the unknown and are comfortable not knowing where a process is going.
❖ As this is the first stage of development, it is too soon to articulate next steps or commit to long-term collaborations. We hope to build our ensemble (an artistic family with whom to cook, create, and vacation together!) organically. For now, our focus is on the workshop, and we ask the same of our participants: a two week commitment, and an eagerness to explore and contribute to the story in its initial stages. The process will be unique and exciting.
❖ Unfortunately, we are not able to compensate collaborators at this stage in the process. We are, however, committed to equal opportunity and access. Please communicate your needs so that we can brainstorm how to facilitate your participation. We’re very resourceful.
