Led in dramaturgical and writing workshops by dramaturg/director Lynn M. Thomson and playwright/director Dominic Taylor , participants will create original plays and projects catalyzed by research and analysis of theatre, drama, and popular entertainment between the American Revolution and World War I.
Founded in 2005, AIP has commissioned sixteen one-act and nine full-length plays, presented in readings across an array of New York venues. We have collaborated with over sixty playwrights, composers, lyricists, musicians, and media artists. This year, AIP is producing two of our devised plays. For more information about who we are, past artist participants and projects, please visit our website at americainplay.org.
We seek playwrights, composers, dramaturgs, media artists, designers and choreographers to form a cohort of sixteen artists. In workshops during the first year, artists [individually and in collaboration] will create short pieces. In the second and third year, continuing investigation of America’s theatrical legacy will culminate in original, collaboratively developed full-length texts and performances, which will have public showings in developmental presentations. After completion, artists may join other initiatives, including full productions of devised plays or our new initiative, The Recovery Project.
Workshops meet monthly, Saturdays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. If you are invited to join, you will be asked to confirm availability for specific dates between 10/13 and 4/14. Attendance at all workshops is required.
To Apply: You can apply by mail or on-line. See instructions at the bottom of the application form. DEADLINE IS JULY 1, 2013
