July 24-30, 2003 artpicks An Artist's Workshop staged reading
Theater Is there really such a thing as universal learning? Azuka Theatre Collective will certainly pose that question this week, with a staged reading of their new project, An Artist's Workshop. Conceived by Raelle Myrick-Hodges and Alden Moore, it aims to startlingly reflect on the impact of Friedl Dicker-Brandeis, an Austrian Jew who taught painting and drawing to children imprisoned with her in the Terezin labor camp during World War II. But writer and director Myrick-Hodges, a recipient of the 2000 NEA/TCG Emerging Directors award who last year assisted George C. Wolfe on the Broadway production of Topdog/Underdog, warns us not to expect "a play about the Holocaust." Instead, seen through the eyes of a group of turbulent teenagers researching history for a school project, An Artist's Workshop grapples with the idea of learning under grim circumstances, while using text and movement to capture how the students reach for Dicker-Brandeis' ideals. An Artist’s Workshop staged reading, Thu., July 24, 8 p.m., free-will donation, Plays & Players Theater, 1714 Delancey St., 215-733-0255.
