The culmination of creative research over two semesters, the Live Acts Festival 2024 is a presentation of BFA capstone projects created by SCA Theatre & Performance and Dance Majors. Over two weeks, 23 artists present solo or group works in a series of double-bill programs, across three unique stage configurations – Proscenium, Alley, and in the Round – in the Fei and Milton Wong Experimental Theatre, as well as one off-site outdoor presentation.
Each Program in the series is $5, and each show has two performances; since both shows’ performances are at different times and days, it's possible to see every show in every Program.
Rosemary Morrison – Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking? | Theatre
Week 1 | Program B: Alley | Tues, March 12, 9:00 PM & Fri, March 15, 9:00 PM
Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking? is an improvised game of negotiating interpersonal tensions. This 20-minute performance is a microcosmic drama unravelled by a team of 6 varsity players. A starting dice roll determines the 2 centre players while the other 4 split into two teams. As if trying to tell a friend every little thing that you can remember when they ask you about someone in your life, the 4 players devise the context for the relationship between the centre players. By the end, only the 2 centre players are left to finish the game in one of two ways and answer the question, Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?
