Wagner College Theatre Premieres NEW YORK LANDS This Week
Wagner College Theatre is proud to announce Carlos Garcia Estevez as Artist-in-Residence during Spring 2016.
An internationally renown artist famous for his contemporary explorations of commedia dell'arte, Estevez has performed and taught world-wide. As the Artistic director of Manifesto Poetico Lab and an associate artist at Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris, he directs, together with François Lecoq, the project Manifesto In Action. He trained with Jacques Lecoq for three years, both at his École Internationale de Théâtre and at LEM (Laboratoire d'Etude de Mouvement). He also participates as a movement director at the Dutch National Opera Academy and Holland's Diep Muziektheater.
WCT's Head of Voice David McDonald has been collaborating with Garcia and his associate Paulo Serantes for a decade, including taking students to study in Italy, the Netherlands, and next France.
While in residence, Garcia will teach, offer workshops, and direct the world premiere of a new devised work of theatre titled NEW YORK LANDS. The show runs March 1 - March 6 in Wagner College's Stage One.
