Opportunities with Double Edge Theatre
Winter Intensive: January 1 - 7
This annual 7-day intensive takes place in the snowy hills of Double Edge's Farm Center in Ashfield, Massachusetts. It is an immersive introduction to the ensemble's 32-year-old original training methodology layering individual and group work, rigorous physical training with improvisation, design, dramaturgy, the voice, and work with objects and flying. Participants work closely
with the multi-national Double Edge ensemble, and work indoors and outdoors at Double Edge's
rural/international center in the hills of Western Mass.
Spring Immersion: January 25 - April 25
Mentored by the core artists of the ensemble, participants train daily, take part in design labs, vocal
exploration, dramaturgy sessions, and large object work that fuels the creation of their own work.
As a special feature to the Spring Immersion program, participants will have the opportunity to
train with a host of Double Edge collaborators, including a week exchange with SITI company;
two weeks with Albuquerque’s Qstaff theater (specialities include singing, physical training and
stilting); and master classes with guest artists from Russia, Poland, Hungary, and Argentina. In
addition, participants will experience The Grand Parade on tour at the Redfern Arts Center (Keane, New Hampshire) and Arts Emerson (Boston, MA) and watch the work-in-progress of Double
Edge’s Latin American summer 2015 performance.
