The Grand 24 HOUR Play-Fest!
Posted on Jan.09, 2012, under Events, Shows
Inspiracy Arts will be hosting The Grand 24-hour Play-fest workshop at The Grand Theatre Center for The Arts in Tracy January 13th-14th 2012! Check out
page 8 of the Arts Education Catalog for more info or go to www.atthegrand.org
Here’s how it works: Over 45 people will sign up to be writers, directors, actors, film-makers and stage crew. The night before the show, a theme is picked at random and the writers have 12 hours to write a 5-10 page script. Writers also receive instructions on number of characters and gender. In the morning, scripts are randomly assigned to teams made of 1 director and 2-3 actors. A technical team works with the director to create simple lighting and sound effects, gather props and costumes and coordinate makeup and hair. Meanwhile a film crew is documenting and editing footage of all the behind the scenes action. The teams workshop the scripts all day in preparation for a live performance onstage!
