FEAST OF CRISPIAN WORKSHOP: WAR, WORDS, DANCE: A COLLABORATION

July 13, 2018 @ 9:00 am - July 15, 2018 @ 2:30 pm

Bright Hill, in collaboration with national not-for-profit organizations Feast of Crispian and Lake Arts Project, will co-direct a three-day acting and storytelling Shakespeare intensive with New York State veterans, and our local area high-school students. Feast uses simple acting exercises to build an ensemble feeling, and to give the veterans an experience of risk free stress–the dangerous “thrill” they might have encountered in the military without the danger. Special techniques developed by the directors allow collaborators to then work scenes from Shakespeare, without the need for reading the difficult language or even any prior familiarity with the plays. The goal is to facilitate the interaction of students and veterans, in order to generate ideas for creating visual art, poetry and dance. Storytelling circles with enough social interaction to encourage trust and bonding are anticipated in phase one of War, Words, Dance: A Collaboration.


Veterans will impart their stories to area high-school students which will, in phase two, be used to create narratives, poetry, and visual art. This project is funded, in part, by NYSCA and the Regional Economic Development Council of New York State.
