NY Neo-Futurists: Creating Non-Fiction Theatre Using Improv with Rob Neill
Class Description
Everyone has a story to tell. But how do you get your personal story from party anecdote to a staged theatre piece? Using the fundamentals of both improv and the aesthetics of Neo-Futurism, students will learn how to use the material of everyday life, be in conversation with chance, and integrate task and movement as tools to fill the blank page. By the end of this workshop, participants will have written, performed and workshopped both individual and collectively-written short plays that they can use in sketch shows or short play festivals.
Rob Neill is the Artistic Director and a founding member of the performance collective, the New York Neo-Futurists. His original plays have been performed at such experimental theatres as The Ontological, P.S.122, and The Public Theater. As an actor, he has performed in Broadway shows (“London Assurance,” “Peter and the Starcatcher”), in London (“The Cherry Orchard”) and regionally (“You Never Can Tell,” “Tartuffe”). Rob has taught a variety of performance and writing master classes around the country including at Brooklyn College, NYU, Hubbard Hall, Texas State, and URI. Rob studied at Grinnell College, LAMDA, iO Chicago, and the Atlantic in NYC. He has also worked on a variety of commercials, TV shows, and independent films. More about Rob at robneill.com
