'COMMOTION' - R.S.V.P

-----------------

This year's grade twelve class is involved in a very exciting project known as 'COMMOTION', an arts initiative spearheaded by Gyllian Raby, professor at Brock University, Pablo Felices-Luna, artistic director of Carousel Players, and Helen Zdriluk, instructor at Brock University.
*
Students are working through the creative process with Heather Lowe and Caitlyn English, graduates of Brock University's theatre program.
*
'COMMOTION' uses a process known as 'R.S.V.P' which stands for 'Resources, Scores, eValuaction and Participation' and its mission is to join university personnel, professional theatre, school drama teachers and youth-centred organizations together with youth in bringing original, youth-devised theatre to enage the community in new, youth-driven dialogues.

*

'COMMOTION' is also part of a very interesting research study. Professor Raby will be studying the passage of transformation in the facilitation process of the work, and will be also be examining the outcome of the process to generate a non-prescriptive step-by-step guide to R.S.V.P that might encourge youth drama workers to make use of this process.

*

There are many excellent approaches to creating theatre in an ensemble; this particular process avoids thematic story making until the very last minute. It encourages hot debate about meanings and messages that sometimes need the audience to complete.

*

'COMMOTION' will prove to be an enriching experience for all involved!

*
Performances by both Crossley and Collegate students will take place at Carousel Players in downtown St. Catharines:

----

- Thur-Friday Dec. 10th & 11th --> Morning and Afternoon Performances - Times TBA

----

- Sat. Dec. 12th --> Public Evening performance at 7:00pm.
