(September 8, 2009) Tri-C Presents at Cuyahoga Community College is producing a

Kaufman and The Tectonic Theatre Company directed by Dr. Brian Bethune, Dean of
Creative Arts. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNoSpacing style='margin-left:.5in'>In the ten years since the
Tectonic Theatre Company told the story of the brutal murder of gay University
of Wyoming student Matthew Shepard, Artistic Director Moises Kaufman and other
company members wondered what changes affected Laramie, Wyoming since the
incident brought hate crimes legislation to national attention. In
a continuing effort to explore this tragedy and its effects on societal norms,
the Tectonic Theatre Company revisits Laramie and many of the people portrayed
in the original play. This seminal event features the Cleveland premiere
of a live reading of this stunning piece by local actors – one of 100
taking place across the country – with an introduction via the internet
by playwright Moises Kaufman and a pre show discussion with local members of
PFLAG, LGBT Center, and Equality Ohio. Performance will be Monday, October 12,
2009 at 7:30 p.m.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>Moment
work is a method for both writing and analyzing performance, which was
developed by Moises Kaufman and the members of Tectonic Theater Project.
In moment work, Tectonic artists create performance from the ground up
using all the elements of the stage at once. The emphasis is on creating
theatrical, rather than realistic, performance. In level one of
Tectonic's "moment work workshops" the ensemble creates a list of the
elements of the stage and, through a series of exercises that build in complexity, uses
all these elements together to create moments rather than using all the
elements of the stage to simply support a text. A moment is defined as a
unit of theatrical time and can be as short and simple as a five second
gesture, or as long and complex as a moment from "The Laramie
Project." We also learn how to analyze the contents of moments to
learn more about what is effective story telling.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
