MOMENT WORK
Tectonic Theater Project, creators of the interview-based play THE LARAMIE PROJECT, will share “Moment Work” -- a devising process that explores and utilizes all the Elements of the Stage on an equal footing with the words (text). Participants will make “Moments” using gesture, props and text. The workshop will conclude by sequencing a few Moments, to glimpse how Tectonic creates a play from individual theatrical Moments. Please prepare participants by either reading THE LARAMIE PROJECT or watching the HBO film, available through HBO streaming. THE LARAMIE PROJECT follows residents of Laramie, Wyoming before, during and after the horrific beating and 1998 death of Matthew Shepard, a gay University of Wyoming college student. This horrific hate crime spawned an activist movement that, more than a decade later, would result in passage of a federal law: The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
