Self Generated Theater Lab

“Training the Actor Warrior to Create and Produce Original Work”

The Self-Generated Theatre Lab is intended for a new generation of theatre artists who yearn to upend tradition and generate new work and new ways of working founded by their own creativity. All participants will be led through the creation of one-person and ensemble-based theater for which the raw materials emerge from the imagination of the generating artist or artists. It offers proactive and effective techniques for creating theater work, both solo and ensemble-based that will facilitate creative power and a distinct understanding of what it means to be a creative theater artist.

Classes include developing the heart and methodologies of an ensemble; solo performance; physically sourced work, the business of theater and self-producing, developing an audience and how to raise funds. Lead by director John Gould Rubin, this is a five-week course with classes 16 hours per week and outreach to theater in unusual communities.
