QSpeak Theatre hosts “Moment Work” Workshop

During the weekend of October 23, 24 & 25 members of QSpeak Theatre and Greasepaint Youtheatre participated in a workshop facilitated by Kelli Simpkins, a member of the Tectonic Theater Project in New York City.  Young people ages 14-22 worked together to learn the basics of “Moment Work”, the play development method used at Tectonic Theater Project developed by Moises Kaufman.  Our young theatre artists gained valuable insight into play creation and development and will continue to work with the ideas and experiences of this workshop throughout their own rehearsal process for THE LARAMIE PROJECT, to be produced by QSpeak Theatre in collaboration with Greasepaint Youtheatre March 5-14, 2010.  The weekend workshop and production of THE LARAMIE PROJECT are made possible thanks to a generous matching grant from the Mukti Queer Youth Theatre Fund in Florida.
