A Theater Developing the Voices of Women and Girls
Voice & Vision develops and produces vibrant theater works with women at the core, and provides them with time, space and resources to create in an environment free from commercial pressures. Founded as a not-for-profit in 1990, Voice & Vision's programming includes professional and educational opportunities for both established and emerging artists to articulate their voices and realize their visions. At the heart of Voice & Vision's programming is the ENVISION Retreat at Bard College each summer, followed by the ENVISION Lab Series in New York City the rest of the year.
BARD COLLEGE, ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, NEW YORK:
VOICE & VISION is pleased to announce the six new theater projects selected for the fifteenth ENVISION Retreat for Women Theater Artists. The ten-day Retreat takes place at Bard College, June 16-26, where the artists and their collaborators live and work. Projects and artists in attendance at ENVISION 2011 are:
Solo performer Alice Eve Cohen adapts her acclaimed memoir What I Thought I Knew for the stage.
Katie Hartman and Leah Rudick, the writer-performers behind the sketch comedy duo Skinny Bitch Jesus Meeting, are at the Retreat to write a full-length show.
Playwright Dominique Morisseau tells the story of a jazz club in Detroit's Blackbottom area in Paradise Blue. We welcome back to the Retreat director Nicole A. Watson and dramaturg Kamilah Forbes to collaborate with Dominique.
Bourgeois Pig by Brighde Mullins with director Beth Schachter explores the relationship our culture has with photography, paparazzi, and the ownership of image.
Writer-in-Residence Antoinette Nwandu works on her play The Family Tree, a story of defining one's own realities and accepting one's origins.
Voice & Vision is also pleased to announce a co-production with Ripe Time, an ensemble-driven theater based in New York City. Ripe Time artistic director Rachel Dickstein and composer Heather Christian join us to continue their collaboration on The World is Round, adapted from a story by Gertrude Stein.
