This project is a devised theater piece that students will create based on their passion for artmaking. This piece will be an interdisciplinary exploration using theater, music, dance, visual art, etc. regardless of track or experience. "Shivering of the Leaves" refers to the concept that when we notice that the leaves on a tree are shaking in the wind, this tells us they are alive, that they are living beings. We are reminded that there is life all around us. This project is about connecting what gives us life through artmaking.
The Shivering of the Leaves is perfect for anyone interested in making a performance from the ground up, from all tracks. In addition to performers and makers this project also needs several instrumentalists to create and play alongside the project.
