POST THEATRE COMPANY WILL PERFORM AT THE PRESTEGIOUS INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY THEATRE ASSOCIATION (IUTA) CONFERENCE IN MANIZALES, COLOMBIA! The Post Theatre Company, the not-for-profit resident theatre company of the Department of Theatre, Dance, and Arts Management on the LIU Post campus, is proud to present That Art Thou at the XI World Congress of University Theatre at the Universidad de Calas in Manizales, Colombia this September. In partial completion of BFA candidate Olivia Lodge’s Undergraduate Honors Thesis, Post Theatre Company presents this devised theatre piece, conceived and structured by the ensemble under the direction of professor Maria Porter. Influenced by Sanskrit drama, the piece, entitled That Art Thou, looks at the Sanskrit mantra tat tvam asi that asserts that we are all influenced by others, with the essential question- can this currently exist in a post-modern, media driven context. The piece examines the tensions between meaning and ritual, memory and forgetting- and the place of ego that transcends the essential idea of interconnectedness. The actor training at Post is unique in its commitment to both a physical and psychological approach to acting. It combines the training methods of Tadashi Suzuki with basic principles sourced in the Stanislavsky system to create a theatrical experience that transcends the boundaries of theatre/music/ and dance. It is with this aesthetic lens that this piece hopes to honor older traditions of theatre, while affording the audience a chance to experience these ideas in both an intellectual and visceral way. The performance will take place in Colombia in Bifilo 2 on September 6, 2016 at 2:30pm. The piece will be also be performed on the LIU Post Campus on the Little Theatre Mainstage to open Post Theatre Company’s 2016/17 season on September 12th at 9:30pm. www.liu.edu/post/ptc
