Inspiracy Arts

 

 Tracy 24hr Play-fest:

Here’s how it works: Over 45 participants 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!
