ABOUT THE EMPATHY PROJECT
In the fall of 2020, Full Circle Theater presented virtual staged readings of The Empathy Project - the first draft of a new play exploring empathy across geographic, political, and racial divides based on interviews of rural and urban Minnesotans.
This spring we take the script development process to the next level! Join us on March 26th and 27th as our artistic ensemble shares theatrical moments from a week-long collaborative devising workshop. Playing with sound and light, objects and movement, text and language (all over Zoom!), we will investigate the power and limits of empathy in a deeply fractured world. The richly textured, highly imaginative ideas that emerge from this workshop will guide the play’s development as it moves toward a fully staged production in the fall of 2021. Get a firsthand, behind-the-scenes look at the messy and beautiful process of script transformation, and join us in a dialogue about the present and future of The Empathy Project!
