The Woodruff Arts Center Educator Conference (2019)

For three weeks each summer, the Alliance Theatre assembles a diverse group of 20 teenagers from metro Atlanta to explore and unpack a classic or emergent text under the guidance of a professional playwright and director.  Through theater and writing exercises, participants create a new work inspired by the anchor text but perceived through their own utterly unique and contemporary prism.  Join Alliance Theatre Palefsky Collision Project leaders Pearl Cleage and Patrick McColery to engage in the Alliance Theatre’s “collision” process and discover how this model can empower young playwrights in your secondary English or theater classroom.
