New York Theatre Workshop

If you’d like to perform, please feel free to sign up at: https://forms.gle/P5Y41PWiPE9iVWhP9

Original music, songs, poetry, spoken word, storytelling and all other forms of performance are welcome! This Open Salon will feature live musicians who play live accompaniment or create unique soundscapes to support the art being presented, as desired by participating salon artists. If you have an instrument, please feel free to perform with it!Original

Today, we're excited to introduce 2050 ARTISTIC FELLOWS Derick Edgren Otero, Nikki Massoud, Andres Santiago Piña, Danica Selem and Christie Zhao and 2050 ADMINISTRATIVE FELLOWS Shania Benjamin, Marty Chandler, Salwa Meghjee and Tyra Mishell! 🎉🎊

THE 2050 FELLOWSHIP is named in celebration of the U.S. Census Bureau’s projection that by the year 2050, there will be no single racial or ethnic majority in the United States. This projection provokes thoughts at New York Theatre Workshop about the transformations that will take place in the American landscape—demographically, technologically, environmentally and artistically—now and in the future. They're a catalyst for broader questions about our ever-transforming field. How can theatre challenge our conceptions of storytelling? How can we push aesthetic boundaries in the 21st century? What's the power of theater today?

“Auschwitz and the other camps whose names haunt our textbooks were mysteries to outsiders—this was part of their power. It took so many efforts of reconstruction like the one dramatized by ‘Here There Are Blueberries’ just to know, belatedly, what exactly went on.”

The Chilling Truth Pictured in “Here There Are Blueberries” Moisés Kaufman’s play dramatizes the discovery of a photo album of N**is at leisure at Auschwitz, and the reckoning it provoked.

Choreographer Liz Lerman recently joined NYTW earlier this May to lead a series of workshops on her famous development, the Critical Response Process.

Through the supportive structure of its four core steps, Critical Response Process combines the power of questions with the focus and challenge of informed dialogue. The Process offers makers an active role in the critique of their own work. It gives makers a way to rehearse the connections they seek when art meets it audience or a product meets its purpose.

Critical Response Process instills ways of thinking, communicating and being that enhance all kinds of human interactions, from coaching to community dialogue, from artistic collaboration to family conversations.
