In addition to our exciting season, we are thrilled to launch the
following programming initiatives.
Summer [Incubator] Series will provide two-week residencies for local artists using innovative techniques to create new forms of storytelling. Participants
of all artistic disciplines will be invited to further investigate aspects of their work. Musicians, directors, dancers, and
visual artists will be able to collaborate with PDG or bring in outside colleagues to construct new work.
[Original Performance Intensive] is designed to foster relationships with educational institutions in the greater Los Angeles area. This initiative mimics
the artistic practices of PDG by focusing on how to build a new theatrical experience in a collaborative environment. Students
will learn how to confront personal and political issues that will expose shifting and complex perspectives. This six-hour
class cultivates an understanding of original story structure, character development, movement and text. [Original Performance
Intensive] provides a unique opportunity for students to work with artists in and of their generation.
The Salon at PDG is a chance for artists to come together. Once every month, there is an open space for musicians, poets, dancers, and media
artists to share their individual pursuits. By consistently exposing ourselves to the cross pollination of art making, we
are asserting our interdependence. Theater is intrinsicly inter-disciplinary, capitalizing on the hybridity of our artistic
vigor we march together into the abyss.
