Work/ Play/Work: Creating Room for the Nervous System on Zoom
a creative process with an ensemble of MFA acting students in response to the potency of the moment–the pandemic, the call to action (at FSU Conservatory), and the national uprising for social justice (in 2020). We worked creatively with our experiences of systemic racism and developed an ensemble process based on somatic practice, vocal exploration, percussion, and work with objects. This was an intimate investigation resulting in the creation of brave personal work. I presented a discussion of this process, as well as a video of our work, at the 2021 Association for Theatre in Higher Education virtual conference. In addition, one of my Latinx students documented this process intending to use it as a curriculum in other diverse environments.
