About

Reimagining the Community/ Professional Artist Relationship in a post dramatic process.

EoP tested an inclusive audition process
with no headshots, CV’s or monologue submissions. 

The creative ensemble included professional and community artists from ages 18- 70, across disability and autism spectrums, gender/ two spirit identities, multiple cultural heritages and backgrounds, and a range of disciplines, and lived experiences.

Creations included: Poetry by an artist with down syndrome adapted to soundscape; Traditional Indian dance set to verbatim text; devised movement set to instruction to change your Youtube algorithms; A Zimbabwean fable layered with physical theatre. Ibsen text role assignment were selected at random to avoided matching identities.
