We’ll see where these two areas of pursuit can connect—and where they seem to need to stay separate. Together\, these investigations invite actors to sit inside the creative tension between play and precision\, revealing new pathways to clarity\, spontaneity\, and truth on stage. \n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Bill Irwin\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nBill Irwin has been honored with Tony\, Drama Desk\, Outer Critics Circle\, Barrymore\, and Helen Hayes Awards and is a recipient of Guggenheim\, Fulbright\, MacArthur and National Endowment for the Arts Fellowships. \nBill’s original works include The Regard of Flight; Largely New York (four Tony Nominations); Fool Moon; Old Hats\, The Happiness Lecture; and others.

Working collaboratively and on our feet\, we’ll investigate the play—exploring scenes and alternating roles (across age\, gender\, type)—guided by Will’s physically adventurous and ensemble-driven directing style. \nOver the course of the weekend\, we’ll experiment with how the text behaves in space\, in bodies\, and in relation to sound and movement. Will will lead investigations that explore moments of claustrophobia versus moments of openness; play with layering voices and redistributing text among multiple actors; and work with a slowed-down line dance as a possible ritual form—asking how poetry\, music\, and choreography affect the play’s emotional landscape and sense of time. \nThe emphasis throughout will be on exploration rather than outcome: allowing the play to reveal itself through shared inquiry\, physical experimentation\, and attentive ensemble work.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout the Play\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nMary\, always late and always married\, meets a lady cowboy named Red who teaches her how to ride a horse. Red exudes a taste of freedom that Mary didn’t even know she lacked\, and is suddenly desperate to find. Late\, a Cowboy Song\, is the story of one woman’s education and her search to find true love outside the box. Written by Sarah Ruhl\, the play premiered in 2003 at Clubbed Thumb. \n» Read the play \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text css=””] \nAbout Will Davis\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””] \n\nWill Davis is the Artistic Director of Rattlestick Theater.

As member Bob Ari noted at our last full company meeting\, many of our current membership are over half a century old in an industry where youth is always at the fore. How do we\, as artists\, continue to create and thrive when the opportunities and auditions are dwindling? \nSimilar to an in-person meeting in 2019 that resulted in the Plays For Us initiative and our ongoing Community Space\, we are hosting a Zoom meeting to gauge interest\, voice our concerns\, pool resources\, discover our strengths\, explore advocacy\, and support each other as we navigate this process. \nThis CoLab is open to members of all ages as we all get older each day; and with differing perspectives\, we may find hope and fresh answers to our common human dilemma.

We grow old because we stop playing.” \n\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout the Series\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.

Here you will find a supportive\, safe virtual space where artists in our company bring their stories\, concerns\, questions\, recommendations\, and inspirations in a free-wheeling but facilitated discussion. With no set agenda\, we delve into whatever is of interest or concern in any given week. We explore what it means to be an actor and what place our art holds in the world.  People suggest balm for body and soul while walking hand-in-hand along the actor’s way.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] \nAbout the Series\n[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Company CoLabs are a series at The Actors Center that offer a framework for collaborative explorations and community programming among company members.
