Performance Projects culminate in a production based on either an original piece around a specific theme generated during the workshop, or a piece from the Company's repertory. Technique, theory and improvisation weave together during the rehearsal process. A unique collaborative experience, each project is driven by shared principles and vocabulary based in Margolis Method. True to form, the Performance Project residency places the actor at the center of the creative process.
Performance Project residencies generally run from three to six weeks meeting several hours each day.
