Please note, the cast of 21st Century Carnival will need to arrive for rehearsals BEFORE classes start, the week of January 14, 2019 and the cast is not eligible to attend KCACTF in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
Auditions for 21st Century Carnival have two components; small group devised (created by sessions) and a callback. To audition, sign up for one of the small group slots. Come to the audition prepared to move and bring your mobile devices.
There are many definitions for devised theatre. It is most commonly understood as, “theatre that begins without a script. The script gets ‘written’ as the rehearsal process takes place through a series of improvisations and collaborations.” https://thetheatretimes.com/what-is-devised-theatre/
From the K-State Theatre season brochure: “The allure of a red bubble and the chime of a new notification draw us back to our devices, into a digital world. This devised play explores social media as a carnival attraction and how it affects our daily lives.” Ashley Blair (Barrow) is a graduate student in the Drama Therapy program.
