Discover the groundbreaking techniques that gave birth to seminal plays like The Laramie Project Cycle, Gross Indecency, I Am My Own Wife, One Arm, and Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, and has guided the Tony- nominated and winning performances of actors Jane Fonda and Jefferson Mays.

Through these Labs, participants have the opportunity to work with Moisés Kaufman, Artistic Director, and Greg Pierotti and Barbara Pitts McAdams, Company Members of Tectonic Theater Project, in a series of one or two workshops, and be trained in this unique approach to theatrical production, incorporating performance, design, movement, and text.

Level I - Introduction to Moment Work: June 27th-29th, 10am-6pm
In this workshop, students actively engage with the elements of the stage - exploring lights, sound, costumes, movement, text, architecture and others elements - to discover their full theatrical potential and the poetry inherent in each element.

Level II - Advanced Moment Work: June 30th-July 3rd, 10am-6pm
Level II is centered around the theatrical impulses and ideas of the students. It encourages an active dialogue between the student's theatrical ideas and the elements of the stage. Starting with a piece of text, a simple phrase of music, an image, or a body of research, the focus of this workshop is to continue the exploration of the elements of the stage, applying them to the specific challenges of making their own work.

Tectonic Theater Project was founded in 1991 by Moisés Kaufman and Jeffrey LaHoste. Tectonic refers to the art and science of structure and was chosen to emphasize the company's interest in construction-- how things are made, and how they might be made differently.

Tectonic is dedicated to developing innovative works that explore theatrical language and form, fostering an artistic dialogue with our audiences on the social, political and human issues that affect us all. In service to this goal, Tectonic supports readings, workshops, and full theatrical productions, as well as training for students around the country in our play-making techniques.
