Current Projects
This summer I've been invited to New York to participate in the
Lincoln Center Directors Lab.
This year the Lab will be exploring the ways that young theater artists make the theater change. In particular, this year's Lab will pose the question: is it possible that theater has evolved not by new artists fitting into existing structures, but by themselves creating new structures in which to make theater. The Lab has always looked both to the present and the past. This year will be no exception. The Lab will combine a thoughtful look at where we are today, with time spent seeing how artists in our theater tradition have created something new. The following is a first (and by no means final) list of theaters that came into being with new structures, brilliant artistic missions – theaters that changed the course of theater:
- Joan Littlewood’s Theater Union and Theater Workshop
- Companie des Quinze – Michel Saint Denis
- Negro Ensemble Company
- Eva le Gallienne Civic Repertory Theater and The Apprentice Group
- Hedgerow Theater
- Jacques LeCoq’s International Theater School
- Steppenwolf Theater
- Federal Theater Project
- Group Theater
- Yiddish Theater Companies
- MAT
- Joint Stock
- Peter Brook’s International Center of Theatre Research
- Herbert Blau’s SF Actor’s Workshop
