This August HOLDTIGHT is beginning work on a new performance piece. We are doing a creative residency to begin exploring the early seedling of a new work that’s centering harmful consumerism.
Curious to see HOLDTIGHT's rehearsal process in action? How we develop work? How we take ecological and psychological research and translate it into artistic content?
If yes, come join us for an Open Rehearsal where you'll get a sneak-peak into our creative process.
Artistic Director Gwendolyn Gussman has been researching this topic for the past year+ and this month we start translating all of her research and conceptual work into tangible, alive, in-person, artistic practice with a few of HT’s longest-term collaborators. This will look like lots of devising and meaningful play with zero pressure of a show at the end. A true creative residency.
On Tuesday, August 19th from 4-5:30pm at the Buntport Theater we will open the doors of our creative process in an open rehearsal format. This will NOT be an informal performance, rather an actual rehearsal that any of you who are interested are welcome to come join us and sit in on, watching our process of development— that being said, you may know that our work is often participatory, so while we don’t want to make any promises, there may be elements for you to literally get involved (but absolutely not necessary for wanting to just witness what we are developing).
