TOMORROW NIGHT! - Make Manhattan Project Great Again - Meet & Greet
by Manhattan Project via NEohioPAL 02 Aug '16

02 Aug '16

Between 1942 and 1945, J. Robert Oppenheimer gathered the most brilliant minds of the age at Los Alamos, New Mexico to create something awesome and terrible. The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab seeks to do the same for the Cleveland stage. Vote for the Lesser of Two Evils! Vote Manhattan Project! America officially crowned its presidential candidates and they're both AWESOME, or they're both TERRIBLE. It depends on who you ask. Instead, why don't you cast your vote for something that is both AWESOME and TERRIBLE!? Vote for Manhattan Project! This August the Manhattan Project <http://facebook.us8.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7…> is pleased to introduce two brand new playwrights to our stage,* Nate Taylor* and *Jordan Bray*. We also welcome back our friends *Dan Riordan* and *Peter J Roth*. We need awesome actors to help create some awesome and terrible new plays. Join us for our Meet & Greet <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> at Mahall's 20 Lanes <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> in Lakewood <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> on Wednesday, August 3 at 8:00pm. Performance <http://facebook.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=24718b1d6d5f7c398165fdc7b…> will be on Wednesday, August 31 at 8:00pm. What exactly is The Manhattan Project - Cleveland Lab? The Manhattan Project is a low-stakes, nonthreatening place for actors and playwrights to meet and work together. Based on the Theatre Lab model taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama and inspired by The Brooklyn Generator in New York, The Manhattan Project wants to introduce Cleveland actors and playwrights to each other by organizing a bi-monthly production of brand new 10-minute plays. Participating artists will meet early in the month and will be broken into teams, each with one playwright. The playwright will then be given a writing prompt to write a new 10-minute play based on the prompt and including all the team's actors. The rest of the evening the team members will get to know each other and get a feel for each other's skills and voices. The teams will reconvene later in the month to perform these plays for each other. These 10-minute plays are not an end in themselves. Through these small collaborations we hope to build relationships between the two most vulnerable artists in theatre; the actors who put themselves on stage and the playwrights who pour themselves onto the page. Perhaps these 10-minute plays will grow into longer works or maybe these collaborations will become partnerships on larger projects. If you'd like to participate, please RSVP at TrinityCrater(a)gmail.com or introduce yourself at out next event. *Some additional notes on the play lab:* - In the spirit of shoe-string theatre, these 10-minute plays should have a budget of $0.00. - Playwrights will be directing the plays, or an actor from the team can volunteer to do so. - It's up to each team to schedule rehearsals together. Based on experience, it shouldn't take more than 3-4 hours of rehearsal time to get these plays on their feet. - Playwrights are invited in advance of the Meet & Greet. - *Playwrights are invited based on participation in past Manhattan Project events, so please come to our events so we can get to know you!*

Call for Written Submissions!
by Wandering Aesthetics via NEohioPAL 01 Aug '16

01 Aug '16

Click HERE <http://us8.campaign-archive2.com/?u=64343e6dcb0e9abd6d2eb484c&id=b507b8707e> to meet the team! Wandering Aesthetics seeks written submissions for our upcoming “Rest Stop Political Theatre Project.” The “Rest Stop Political Theatre Project” is a Joy of Voting Initiative funded by Citizen University with support from John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. ABOUT THE JOY OF VOTING Through the Joy of Voting, Citizen University– a national nonprofit based in Seattle– aims to help address a growing trend of lower voter turnout in local elections. The project will create localized, action-oriented projects in four cities across the country to foster a stronger culture of voting. In Akron, Citizen University is partnering with the Ray C. Bliss Institute of Applied Politics at the University of Akron to help promote the project. In addition to Akron, Joy of Voting projects are launching in Miami, FL; Wichita, KS; and Philadelphia, PA. The Joy of Voting project derives its vision from an article in “The Atlantic” written by Citizen University founder and CEO Eric Liu, in which he asks that it’s possible to revive 18th and 19th century practices of raucous, participatory activity and pageantry around elections. Winning organizations in Akron include: The Big Love Network, artist Megan Young, Wandering Aesthetics, Engaging to Excel with Excellence and the Akron Beacon Journal in collaboration with the Jefferson Center. ABOUT THE “REST STOP POLITICAL THEATRE PROJECT” “Rest Stop Political Theatre” is a mobile performance– devised to take place in the bed of a pickup truck– that will travel to five Akron neighborhoods. Performances will take place outdoors in civic common spaces in the weeks leading up to the October 11 voter registration deadline. The goal: help get people registered while galvanizing an informed electoral to participate in this quintessential civic duty. “Rest Stop” builds on theatrical foundations established by Brecht, Boal, the Living Newspaper, Bread & Puppet and Teatro Campesino to use theatre to galvanize political discourse among everyday citizens. Using a variety of tools (ex: puppetry, physical comedy, folk music) these live performances will be fun, educational, interactive AND encourage civic participation. Performing on the back of a beat-up truck allows us to challenge the notion that theatre (and voting) is a luxury only relevant to some. CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Wandering Aesthetics is seeking writers of all ages, backgrounds, experience levels and demographics. The goal is to showcase a wide variety of voices and perspectives about voting, democracy and America’s political history/present/future. We are an open, accepting and affirming company performing to diverse communities. We are interested in exploring questions such as: “in the face of political, economic, racial and social oppression/injustice, what is the necessity of civic participation? When it increasingly seems like your vote doesn’t count, why bother? Why do people care more about Pokemon than exercising their hard-won rights? Is it possible to overcome today’s fractious two-party politics? What does ‘freedom’ mean?” We seek to explore such questions in a fun, engaging and participatory way. Submissions may take almost any form as long as in can be spoken and/or performed. This is including but not limited to: poetry, speeches, comedic sketches, serious/dramatic scenes, puppetry, masked scenes, improv scenarios and/or songs (Due to time constraints melody must be able to be played on guitar and based on folk songs in the public domain.) Performance times may range from 2 – 10 minutes. LIMITATIONS: All pieces must be simple enough to be performed outside on or around a pickup truck. (I.E. No elaborate costume changes in the middle of the piece or special stage effects/lighting.) Our ensemble/cast involves 4 performers and a musician. Submissions may be work that already exists or material written specifically for this performance. However, applicants must be able to give Wandering Aesthetics full permission to use work– material under copyright protection may only be submitted by copyright holder. PAYMENT: Wandering Aesthetics will pay $25 - $50 for permission to use material from August 15 – November 15. Final fee will be dependent on the number of pieces selected. Payment will be made no later than November 18. Author/copyright holder remains sole owner of material and will be credited on www.watheatre.com <http://www.watheatre.com/> and in any other press material we distribute. HOW TO SUBMIT: Please send entries via email to WATheatre(a)gmail.com <mailto:WATheatre@gmail.com?subject=Submission%3A%20%22Rest%20Stop%20Political%20Theatre%22> with Submission: “Rest Stop Political Theatre Project” in subject. Questions may also be directed to this email. No phone calls please. DEADLINE: Sunday, August 14 at 11:59 pm. NOTIFICATION: Selections and notification will be made by August, 23. IMPORTANT: All entries must be nonpartisan. We are not supporting a particular party or candidate– simply encouraging people to take part in the political process. IN ADDITION Wandering Aesthetics seeks letters, quotes, postcards, drawings and/or photographs that, in some way, serve as a response to the theme. Please send entries via email to WATheatre(a)gmail.com <mailto:WATheatre@gmail.com?subject=Submisison%3A%20%22Joy%20of%20Voting%22> with Submission: “Joy of Voting” in subject or, as a hardcopy, to: Wandering Aesthetics C/O Summit Artspace 140 E. Market St. Akron, OH 44308 Questions may also be directed to this email. No phone calls please. We are collecting these items to better understand the myriad perspectives around this complex and important topic. Pieces may be incorporated as part of a scene devised by the cast, read between segments or otherwise included. If you like to submit, but definitely would not like your piece included, please indicate. These items will not be returned. Please send by Thursday, August 25. About Wandering Aesthetics Dreamt into being on the mountains of Appalachia, where founders Benjamin Rexroad and Kyle Jozsa completed a thru-hike of the 2,185.9-mile Appalachian Trail, Wandering Aesthetics rose (like an overused cliché) from the ashes of Heads Up Productions.
