Phase 3 of IPAG’s New Modalities Program will soon premiere eight (8) new works developed during the pandemic.
This course, which began in August 2020, has included lecture-workshops in directing, dramaturgy, playwriting, movement, and webinars benefitting 16 Fellows, now 8-10 apprentice directors, and the hundreds who follow our live streams. The courses were conducted by some of the more distinguished practitioners of performance among them Aubrey Mellor, Sato Makato, and Nicholas Pichay. Program Director is Steven P.C. Fernandez.
Draft of their works were presented in a virtual recital last December. The mounting and rehearsals follow extensive critiquing and rewrites adapting to these present circumstances.
Activities explored venues where performance can be sustained minus live audiences in the transition. Alternatives navigate unchartered waters looking forward to a “New Normal” traversing these points: Adaptation, Transition, and Resurrection.
