Teen Ensemble

MORE THAN WORDS

Over the course of the academic year, the Teen Ensemble, which is made up of Project members in high school, has been meeting once a week and practicing collaborative theatre processes. These have included improvisation, theatre design, technical theatre, and playbuilding. The culmination of all their work is MORE THAN WORDS, an original play devised and performed by the Teens Ensemble and co-directed by adults. In this production, the Teen Ensemble explores the moments when we are speechless, by choice or circumstance. What are the silent stories beneath the soundtrack of the city?

Ensemble Members: Aengus, Amirah, Evaluna, Kassandra,  Kaytie, Kylee, Maria, Melanie, Naseem, Sarah, & Xavier.

Teen Ensemble Lead Director: Kat Almirañez

Co – Directors: Jose-Maria Aguila, Abby Dziura, Ana Gonzalez-Soto, & Betsy Hogg.

PLEASE NOTE: This is an original work devised by the Teen Ensemble, it contains mature themes and language.

Welcome to The 52nd Street Project’s podcast — The PROJcast! The PROJcast offers a behind-the-scenes view of the work of the Project as the kids create and explore theater as well as other art forms, such as song, dance, poetry, film, radio and more. Long term-mentoring relationships form the basis of much of the Project’s work, and these episodes will feature reporting, stories, performances and interviews with kids and adults.
