Perfection
What's HAPPENING At DSU Theatre! Perfection, A Devised Piece DSU Theatre invites you to experience a once in a lifetime performance! Produced and directed by DSU theatre students and advised by Michael Harding, this play is sure to move you. The show plays November 6-8, and 11-15 in the Eccles Fine Arts Center Black Box. This play is rated PG-13. In the standard theatre model, a single playwright writes the text and then a director casts actors and selects designers to interpret that text, resulting in a traditional theatre production. With devised theatre, however, the collective artists begin without a script. They might even decide to liberate themselves by surrendering their traditional, specialized theatrical roles of actors, designers, playwrights, or directors and start as theatre generalists (or cross-trainers) with an idea, a hunch, that takes them into a studio space to investigate collaboratively, to unpack that hunch. A devised piece of theatre can literally start with anything: a painting, a song, a real-life event, or a novel to adapt. DSU Student Sean Bronsema, one of the collaborators of the piece, says, "I'm excited for the creativity... We are molding something out of nothing. Pure creativity is the material. In this particular devised piece, the theme can be narrowed down to a single word: Perfection. What is perfection? What is our view of it? Are we ever truly capable of achieving it? These are all questions that audience members will ponder as they watch this production. The students are very excited to be working on this piece. Michael Harding, faculty advisor for the piece says, "My biggest worry was that the students wouldn't take full advantage of it. The students have made that fear quickly fade." The piece will truly touch everyone who comes to see it. Don't miss out on an original piece of theatre that will keep you coming back! You will never see the same performance twice. The play is sure to leave you in awe. $10 General Admission, $5 for all WSCD High school students and employees, $5 tickets for groups of 15+. All productions start promptly at 7:30 pm (house opens at 7 pm) in the Black Box and Main Stage Theatres located in the Eccles Fine Art Center on the Dixie State University campus in downtown St. George, Utah.
