Opportunities & Challenges of Responsive Theatre—2017 LMDA Conference
Channel: HowlRound Theatre Commons
Date: 2017-06-26

Saturday, June 24, 2017
11:15 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. PDT (Berkeley) / 1:15 p.m. - 2:30 p.m. CDT (Chicago) / 2:15 p.m. - 3:30 p.m. EDT (New York)

This roundtable discussion will explore how and why responsive theatre gets made (examples: Every 28 Hours Project, Orlando Project, Ghostlight Project, etc); what challenges are posed by the emergence of this form of immediate "social emergency" style work; what best practices look like; and how to amplify and innovate (rather than duplicate) the great work being done in this field. Together, we will to begin to codify a list of discoveries and revelations around the challenges and opportunities that others can practically draw from in the coming months and years — surely, we are more in need of effective, immediate responsive theatre actions now than ever before.

Literary Managers and Dramaturgs of the Americas presents the 2017 LMDA Conference “Access, Activism & Art” livestreaming on the global, commons-based peer produced HowlRound.TV network from Thursday, June 22 - Saturday, June 24.

"We are thrilled to be in Berkeley, California for the opportunity to reunite and re-ignite in a city with such a celebrated legacy of social and political action. It is the perfect place for us to talk access, activism and art, and to take action not just here, but in theatre communities all over the Americas. This call to arms is meant to reach through our community, so we encourage participants to come ready with questions, observations, and thoughts about your own practices to share with everyone joining us in person, on Twitter (#LMDA17), and via HowlRound."—Ken Cerniglia, LMDA President
