Lightning Rod 2019
Co-producers Kat Purcell, Marcela Michelle, and Yoni Tamang are producing LIGHTNING ROD: an annual intensive in collaborative performance-making. Growing on last years Lightning Rod in both its format and content, this year we are particularly interested in work that goes beyond theatrical conventions of "a play," "a script," "an actor," "a director" etc. We seek work that imagines new ways of performing, being, and becoming in community.
We seek artists who will responds to the prompt: how can you reach across barriers of identity difference, time-space quandaries, and species classification in a world that cannot hold you? This might mean that the work addresses current events, cultural trends, environmental shifts, or present day capitulations of ancestral knowledge. Potential mediums could include: dance, design, song, writing, video, performance.
The week of workshops and creation culminates in two nights of performance created by a cohort eighteen artists who must work together to respond to each other and to the now.
