Voice & Vision is proud to offer its 7th annual Summer Theater Intensive (STI) at Bard College this July 15-29.
STI is a multi-disciplinary training program for early career theater artists, including undergraduates and recent college graduates, graduate students, and emerging theater artists of all disciplines (actors, writers, directors, dancers, puppeteers, etc.). Students work alongside resident artists developing new works at the concurrent ENVISION Retreat. The community setting encourages dialogue and association between resident and student artists and a sharing of ideas and experiences.
The Mabou Mines Theatre Company will provide intensive performance workshops on developing physical approaches to character, adapting text to theater, and the opportunity to experiment with innovative theatrical ideas. In the afternoon, each student will participate in the development of an experimental theater work inspired by the tales of 1001 Arabian Nights. The project, led by Ruth Maleczech and Sharon Fogarty of Mabou Mines, an Obie-award winning ensemble, and Theodora Skipitares, Obie-award winning director and puppeteer, will be given a public performance at the culmination of the Retreat. Additional workshops, readings, and events, including attendance at performances at Bard SummerScape are offered over the course of the two-week Retreat.
STI Alumnus remembers: “I gained a broader, more diverse understanding of what theater is and means. I came away with more and more approaches and techniques for my own work and, most importantly, wonderful new relationships.”
Limited work-study opportunities remain for qualified applicants. Spaces are filling up fast!
