Articulating the Arts:
A Thousand Words Articulating the Arts uses works of art as a springboard and inspiration for writers and their imaginations to bring to life the soul of the piece they are moved by. Sculpture, painting, music, dance, fashion, architecture, poetry: each a genre unto itself, and allowing them to be the germ of creation brought to life through words and the living embodiment of art through the magic of theatre. For this edition, Articulating the Arts: A Thousand Words, our playwrights are reacting to classical paintings. Company members - playwrights, actors, designers - are featured in these whirlwind episodes.
We had a very successful opening of this series. For info on our next Articulating the Arts, click here. |
