ABOUT
THE Director’s Forum
The Director’s Forum is a community program offered by the Brown Arts Institute in collaboration with the Wilbury Theatre Group. Led by Wilbury Theatre Group Artistic Director Josh Short, participants will engage in weekly Monday night sessions, exploring different artistic themes tied to Wilbury Theatre, BAI, and Providence-based performance work through a unique blend of theoretical study and practical exploration.
The themes explored in the Directors Forum will be drawn from the rich tapestry of images, ideas, and motifs present in the works presented by the Brown Arts Institute, Wilbury Theatre Group, and Providence-based arts organizations. By grounding the discussions and explorations in the artistic productions of these organizations, participants will have a tangible connection to the art being created in their communities.
Each thematic cycle will run three or four weeks and announcements will roll through the fall with opportunities to register for the topics and times that work for you.
Participants can expect opportunities to explore content, discuss concepts, and meet the creators.
