AI will change the theatre industry forever. But how bad is it? What jobs are the most at risk? Could this actually be a GOOD thing for artists? Hear from Jason Stacks, an experienced theatre marketing professional who is on the forefront of AI technology. Jason has worked on productions like Back to the Future: The Musical and has seen firsthand how AI can both disrupt and enhance the creative process.

We will explore the potential impacts of AI on traditional roles in theatre, from set designers to scriptwriters, and how artists can adapt in this changing landscape.

Grappling with Consent

Thursday October 24, 2024 10:30am - 11:30am EDT

B17 Open Studio

Since the development of Intimacy Direction, theatre artists have been grappling with how to stage physical moments of touch ORGANICALLY through consent. Virginia Tech just produced Selina Fillinger's hilarious farce, "POTUS: Or Behind Every Great Dumbass Are Seven Women Trying to Keep Him Alive" that required everyone in the creative team and cast to grapple with actual, physical grappling onstage.

Virginia Tech Fight and Intimacy Director Cara Rawlings will guide you through improvisational tools she used to help actors in the show develop organic, repeatable, and consensual choreography for a PHYSICAL GRAPPLING moment like the one Fillinger describes in the following Act 2 stage directions: "Bernadette nabs Stephanie by the inner tube and drags her, struggling, back to Chris. Stephanie bites Bernadette, attempting to escape...They try to shove Stephanie into the closet. She resists. They both have to hold the door shut."

Attendants of the workshop are invited to participate at whatever level they wish. Physical participation in the workshop includes consensual physical touch in structured contact improvisations based on the actions of grabbing, pushing, and pulling another person. Anyone is welcome to participate through observation and discussion.
