SUMMARY:Palefsky Collision Project
DESCRIPTION:For three weeks each summer\, the Alliance Theatre assembles a diverse group of 20 teenagers from metro Atlanta to explore and unpack a classic text under the guidance of a professional playwright and director. Through improvisational exercises\, oral history\, choreography\, the individual performing talents they possess\, and their writing\, the teenagers create a new piece inspired by the classic text but perceived through their own utterly unique and contemporary prism. The Palefsky Collision Project affords teens a unique theatrical experience and gives them ownership of a performance at the Alliance. It also gives students validity – confidence in their talents\, strength for the future\, and power in their decisions. \nThrough this dynamic project\, metro Atlanta teens create theater for and about themselves by “colliding” with a dramatic text\, reinforcing the idea that theater can address their particular ideas and feelings. \n \nText: Conflict Resolution for Holy Beings by Joy Harjo \nPerformances\nPublic performances of the 2022 Palefsky Collision Project will take place in-person. Tickets are free\, but advanced registration is required! \n\nSaturday\, July 9\, 2022 // 7 PM\nSunday\, July 10\, 2022 // 2:30 PM\n\n2022 Participants\n \n \nThis experience is free to all participants through generous support from Howard and Victoria Palefsky. The Palefsky Collision Project takes place with the support of the Mellon Foundation’s National Playwright Residency Program administered in partnership with Howlround. \n

SUMMARY:REISER ATLANTA ARTISTS LAB SHOWCASE: Unexpected Encores
DESCRIPTION:Unexpected Encores\nSaturday\, November 12 // 4:00 PM\nBeauchamp C. Carr Room\n  \nReiser Lab Artists\nDenise Arribas\nJeffrey Zwartjes\nMichael Joseph Haverty \nFull Cast\nDenise Arribas\nLuis Hernandez\nMarcie Millard\nBethany Okie\nJeffrey Zwartjes \nInspired by all the life that is left after a dementia diagnosis\, Unexpected Encores is an immersive performance for people living with dementia and their caregivers. People living with dementia are surrounded by the everyday multi-dimensional feeling of loss. They are progressively losing their physical and mental abilities\, the familiarity they had around them\, their autonomy\, their sense of purpose\, and their sense of self. Our show focuses on creating tailored-made experiences that spark connections with people living with dementia. We do this by meeting them where they are\, joining them in their world (instead of expecting them to join us in ours)\, and restoring their purpose by seeking their help and advice. The show is primarily nonverbal\, filled with music from their formative years\, and it incorporates dance\, physical comedy\, and puppeteering. It celebrates all the things that are a common thread with people living with dementia and honors the significant moments of their lifetime.    \nWe look forward to seeing you at the show. And if you’re a caregiver\, we can’t wait for you to share this moment of respite with your loved one while you both enjoy a show perfectly made for them.  \nFunding for the Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab is provided by Margaret and Bob Reiser.  \n  \nWant to learn more about the Round 7 projects of the Reiser Atlanta Artists Lab? \nGet to Know Our Round 7 Reiser Lab Artists \n  \n
