Project With Pig Iron

Apparently, according the Squarespace analytics, people are actually reading this section, so I will try to post more here. I just signed on to do a workshop for a new Pig Iron Theater Company project featuring Dito van Reigersberg aka Martha Graham Cracker, Directed by Eva Steinmetz, Co-Written by Dan Rothenberg, and Music Directed by Alex Bechtel. I have no idea what the project is yet and likely they don’t either because the way Pig Iron’s process works by building theater through improvisation. We call this Devised Theatre. So we will play games and receive prompts for improvisations throughout the process which will turn into scenes that get written down by the writers and set by the director. This process has been used time and time again to produce wildly successful and innovative works. I will be one of the “devisers”, which doesn’t necessarily mean that I will be involved in the final work, just in the development process at the moment. I’ve worked with them many times in the past, both as a deviser and a performer, most notably in Twelfth Night, or What You Will and Franklin’s Secret City; and this process is always exciting! I can’t wait to start working with this ridiculously talented crew.
