Requiem’s Bloom

Directed by Robert Colpitts

See the end of Phase 1 on August 27th!

Where do we go when we die?  What power does this question have over our lives?  How do we bear out our uncertainty?  Do we seek to escape or embrace the end?  How does this affect the living present moment?

Using powerful, engaging theatre tools drawn from a variety of practitioners and theorists including Michael Chekhov, the actors of Odin Teatret and Eugenio Barba, and Mary Overlie, we will create an original theatre piece drawn from the above questions.  Actors will use the full range of their creative abilities to create this piece.  In addition, all training, exercises, conversations, and interactions will be used to develop our artistic connections and encourage personal wellness using community building exercises.

The Reunion

TREe’s first play developed from three months of seeking to combine theatre, contemplative philosophy, and yoga.

Somewhere between a transformational workshop and experimental theater lies “The Reunion.” The story relays the dissolution of a once vibrant yoga community that disbanded shortly after their leader died. Years later, the reunion is a chance for members (and audience who are put into the role of former members) to consider re-uniting. It is also an opportunity for the group to heal old wounds, doubts, and fears.

Ego Confession

Performed at The Suffolk gallery in Lower East Side Manhattan. Ego Confession was written by Allen Ginsberg in 1974 and this is TREe’s interpretation.
