We promised you that we would be rolling-out some news in the next few weeks! Here is our first bit of exciting news! Actors Theatre in conjunction with a group of artists based out of Actors Theatre, in collaboration with the UICA, has an interactive performance piece in ArtPrize this year! This group of artists are creating a full theatrical piece of theater during ArtPrize with the interaction, collaboration and inclusion of the community and the other pieces displayed in the UICA. The team of artists are all professionals in the field in multiple ways and have all worked with Actors Theatre which is what has brought them together for this particular piece. The Four Stories team includes: Jolene Frankey: Director/Actor Ellie Frances: Producer/Actor Nadira Kharmai: Media/Advertising Tracey Walker: Properties/Actor Christian Poquette: Set Designer/Tech Director Bill Dunkel: Collaborator/Costume Designer Scott Bell: Music Composition/Actor Todd Lewis: Writer/Actor Christopher VanderArk: Writer/Actor Molly Jones: Collaborator/Actor Jared Douglas: Collaborator/Actor Four Stories is a show that is following 4 different storylines that will eventually be performed on all four stories of the UICA at different times. These stories are unique in that they stand alone and also interact with each other. As part of ArtPrize, the team is writing this show and creating all the elements to support the show during ArtPrize with voters input and ideas, giving the people a look behind the scenes on what all goes into this form of art and also giving them some ownership of the show as it evolves. Everything from script, to costumes, set, music and acting/directing will be on display as part of the art-piece and the voters will get a taste of it all. The logistics of the show will go as follows: For the fist part of ArtPrize the team will be in the space (mostly the Pottery Studio) writing, fitting costumes, building a set and rehearsing with the input of the audience both present and on social media. The last part of ArtPrize (Oct 2,3 & 4) the team is hoping to have a complete show to then perform for the last weekend. This way the audience can see what they helped create. We will have a more solid Performance schedule to you soon. Stay tuned for more details! You can stay updated by liking the Four Stories Facebook page as well!
