STATE OF PLAY
A New Theatre Piece
​Devised, rehearsed, and presented entirely online

The phrase “state of play” is an expression referring to the way things are in any given moment. The “state of play,” in short, is the situation. It is also the phrase that Theatre Pioneer Viola Spolin used to describe the state of clear creative focus and relaxed readiness that allows theatre artists to explore an unfamiliar environment and tackle challenging circumstances with openness and authenticity. It is a way of creatively embracing the unknown—that is our mission.

The process of devising starts with endless possibilities… and without a script. We’ll write the script as we go! Through a guided series of games, explorations, and discussions, a creative ensemble of student theatre artists will use their artistic wits to assemble a variety of ideas and media into a brand-new theatre piece. The goal of this original piece is to use the lens of theatre to explore, deconstruct, analyze, lampoon, and ultimately illuminate the human experiences of a particular moment.
 
The details are up to the participants. The content is up to the participants.
