[NEohioPAL] The Only Duty of a Storyteller...

[Heads Up Productions]

Heads Up Productions might work in strange and interesting ways to  
create theatre.  The Artistic Director, Benjamin Rexroad, tries to  
explain one of the reasons why the company works the way it does in  
the company's newest blog post.

"The Only Duty of a Storyteller..."

Recently I attended a workshop with Mythologist Michael Meade.  It was  
entitled, “Initiated Soul, Awakened Self.”  The workshop involved  
drumming & songs, stories and moments of deep, intense communion.  It  
struck me how closely our work as a theatre company coincides with his  
work as a mythologist.

This shouldn’t come as a surprise.  Western theatre is firmly rooted  
in myth.  From the ancient Greeks to Grotowski to present day  
companies like Heads Up & New World Performance Lab our theatrical  
tradition venerates, explores, confronts and explodes our collective  
myths.
