The directors of the Applied Theatre Initiative open the week exploring themes related to creating, making, and sustaining a deeply engaged and intentional life in the arts. Through applied and devised theatre exercises and open community dialogue, we will begin to explore how we each hope to engage in the world as artists and as citizens. We intend to use the Festival week to build a circle of engaged artists from which powerful and impactful art will emerge.
