Art Party Theatre Company

www.artpartytheatercompany.com

art.party.theater.company creates bold performances for an audacious audience; our work is irreverent, intelligent, physical, magical, and surprising. Founded in 2008 by Mary Birnbaum (Artistic Director), art.party is now in season.two. In February 2009, art.party’s SCHOOLED: or m. moliere’s the learned ladies, directed by Birnbaum, had audiences exploring the play through salons of New York City apartments. Birnbaum and Jess Burkle (Artistic Producer) co-conceived Bryant in the Park featuring the fictional Bryant Park Croquet Society playing on the Bryant Park lawn while spouting the poetry of William Cullen Bryant. In October, Burkle headed art.party’s residence at chashama’s Times Square location, presenting the daily performance installation so much depends upon [a red wheel barrow], while Birnbaum directed the co-conceived Duchess in the Dark, which plunged audiences into a pitch-black telling of Webster’s The Duchess of Malfi armed with flashlights. Most recently, art.party joined forces with American Opera Projects in Brooklyn to present BAD ROMANCE, two Schumann classical song cycles in the format of couples therapy session. “…a young company with a taste for smart and generous experimentation in form.” (nytheatre.com)

The New Ensemble

thenewensemble.com

The New Ensemble is a company of experienced theater artists based out of New York City making sensory immersive stories.  Through a lucky series of events, this particular group of designers, actors, composers, and lyricists came together in the spring of 2009 to create nonplay, an original journey where the audience moved through the danger, music, poetry, and humor of the signs in one’s own dreaming life. This group of theater-makers is led by Artistic Director Mikhael Tara Garver, who made a name for herself creating work in Chicago with Uma Productions (a beloved storefront theater company known for its unique umaenvironments) and has spent the past ten years developing and now teaching immersive theater nationally.  She now leads The New Ensemble in making both fantastical and truthful productions.  By acknowledging the ridiculous event of making theater, and the wondrous possibility between audience and performance, The New Ensemble surrounds you with musicality, physicality, and honesty of the shared moment.

Currently the ensemble is continuing its development of nonplay (which is inspired by Strindberg’s dream play & e.e. cummings’ writing, with original composition by Andrew Gerle and Royce Vavrek) and developing a new rock experience titled Fornicated from the Beatles.

The New Ensemble is Ken Barnett, Nathan Dame, Jeremiah Davis, Dani Karliner, Ava Eisenson, Jason Fleitz, Mikhael Tara Garver, Mary Guiteras, Kyra Miller, Will Pickens, Seith Reiser, Elizabeth Rich, Andrew Gerle, Alexandra Seal,  Eric Slater, Taylor Valentine, Royce Vavrek, and  Cassie Wooley. This particular group of individuals brings varied talents and lengthy experience to The New Ensemble, and look forward to including you in our unique community. More information on all of these artists and our work isavailable at www.thenewensemble.org

CockEyed Optimist

Ceotheatre.org

CockEyed Optimists strives to create theatre which examines the human condition in all of its complex absurdity.
Our optimism stems from the belief that the power of imagination and creativity can better a world too often full of cynicism and negativity.

We see ourselves as cockeyed because we are drawn to material that sees the world in an unpredictable light. We also seek to find the humor in life’s struggles and laugh in the face of adversity.
These beliefs are at the core of who we are as an ensemble and as individual artists.

Lynx Ensemble Theater

www.lynxtheater.org

Lynx Ensemble Theater is a NYC based non profit theater company using theatre to explode stereotypes, and to explore the nature of identity.  Lynx seeks to serve audiences who are not used to seeing their stories told onstage, challenges artists and audiences to look at themselves beyond their own type, to recognize themselves in characters who at first seem very different, and to empower artists and audiences to discover and become their fullest, freest, most empathetic selves.

Lynx has been producing  plays, readings, and developmental workshops since 2003.  Notable productions include the premieres of stellYY and CONTRACTS (both by Justin Deabler), and a staging of Christopher Durang’s LAUGHING WILD (directed by Liesl Tommy).  Lynx always hosts post show discussions which give our audiences a chance to respond to the work, and to engage in a dialogue with each other, the artistic team, as well as guest panelist speakers.  Themes of past discussions have included marriage equality, family diversity, people with disabilities, elder abuse, among others.  Panelists have included former president of the ACLU, Nadine Strossen, comedian Judy Gold, and disabilities/arts consultant Simi Linton.

Monster In My Brain

www.jodykaylitman.com

Everyone is a monster in my life.  Some are good.  Some are bad.  There is a monster inside me.  There is a monster in my brain. I can’t kill them or make them go away, but I can acknowledge them, understand them, and embrace them.

As many of us know, we are being judged from the second our foot steps through that door. So many people out there have incredible talent and many even know how to showcase it well, but far too few know how to make the people behind the table WANT to work with them.

Through this four-week workshop, Jamie will be working with students in the class on not just selection of the proper material, but on everything that is presented in the audition from start to finish.

Putting your best foot forward from sending in your resume to your third callback is essential. Through calling on Broadway veterans and his own experience working with some of Broadway’s best, Jamie will help you find the great auditioner in you!

Check out our FEATURED GUEST TEACHERS! The best and most active people in the business will be assisting Jamie in providing feedback from various mediums of the industry!!!
