CAST Visiting Artist @lbert Figurt invites you to a full-immersion theater workshop centered on our multifaceted relationship with screen-based devices. 

Profiting from a dedicated studio space in the Theater Arts building, participants will engage in a convivial brainstorming in order to share their idiosyncratic digital routines, confront personal computerized emotions and ultimately remix tics, obsessions and fears in as many unexpected performative stimuli. 

Little by little, with Albert helping in the guise of a facilitator / co-creator (rather than a director / choreographer), the scattered fragments will be then orchestrated and assembled into a minimal, multimedia theatrical outcome — to be presented at the very end of the day for a small audience.

Open to all members of the MIT community (students, staff, faculty, alumni)

Capped at 15 participants

No experience necessary, just bring a sense of curiosity and a willingness to explore. Guests of participants are welcome to attend the showcase at the end of the day. 

Presented by the MIT Center for Art, Science & Technology and supported by the Alan W. Katzenstein (1942) Memorial Fund, with thanks to MIT Comparative Media Studies / Writing and MIT Music and Theater Arts.
