the artistic process; the integration of contemporary theatrical
traditions with intercultural and international performance
research; and the education and mentoring of theatre artists
and others through its synthesized theories of performance and
intercultural techniques of performance training.
For 15 years, East Coast Artists has partnered with
playwrights and novelists as well as staged radical
interpretations of classical texts to produce stunning new
theatrical pieces.
Eschewing a more orthodox model of production, ECA
develops work over time with meticulous attention to
workshopping, incubation, and collective
international/intercultural performance techniques into its
signature RasaBoxes Training program whose focus on
psychophysical emotion work has been applied to performer
training as well as drama therapy, medical training, and
community research.
