Description
Catherine Glynn’s A.R.T. (Audacious Raw Theater), Lanesboro Arts, and Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center proudly present Audacious Re-Imagined Theatre Year 5: Simple Gifts on Saturday, July 17th at 7:30 pm at Eagle Bluff Outdoor Amphitheater.
Starting on July 11, 2021, A.R.T.’s Founder, Catherine Glynn, will collaborate with Seven other professional performing ARTists for Seven days and create Seven (or more) new devised theatrical works.
What is devised work? It means the ARTists build original theatrical performances from the ground up—in a word; they are co-creators. Through a series of conversations, writing exercises, movement exploration, an improvisatory theatre techniques, they tease out the stories and performances they want to share with live audiences.
During A.R.T, the ARTists hold a week-long jam session that focuses on developing how they’d like to express their creations. By the end of the week, a more formalized show emerges. (Keep in mind —this work is always purposefully raw!)
Over the past four years, the ARTists have generated a style they call “soul-o ensemble,” a term coined by ARTist Penelope Walker. Each creation, while featuring one particular ARTist’s voice/story, also contains the fingerprints of all the ARTists. That way, the work bears each individual soul and is supported by the collective.
Year Five’s theme is “Simple Gifts.” It stemmed from the year of lockdown, where life became far more complex and also very, very simple. This year the ARTists will embrace their inner Thoreau and head to the woods (of Eagle Bluff Environmental Learning Center) to recreate and ReCreate themselves deliberately. As they do so, they aim to band together and “simply, simplify.”
It is a great gift to be doing this. In turn, the ARTists want to share their gifts as creative ARTists with the community of Southeastern Minnesota!
