The FURYUS Collaborative Project is an activist performance piece in response to the repeal of Roe v. Wade and the oppression of women
Are you angry, frustrated, tapped out, or numb about what’s going on in the world?
Are you feeling like you want to scream, cry, rage, and wail against the thousands of years of gender-specific oppression and need an outlet that is creative and mindful?
Are you FURIOUS? We are….
SYNOPSIS:
The FURYUS Collaborative Project weaves Classical Greek text, spoken word, song, dance, tableaux, and verbatim theatre into an artistic activism performance piece.
The intended outcome is to raise awareness, provide an artistic performance, bring people together in supportive collaboration, and ultimately create an artistic activist piece that can be utilized by other communities to create their own unique scripts inside the framework this first play has done.
The approach is a process focused on a clear director’s vision. This is NOT an anti-male piece.

The style of direction and teaching will be the KAST model. See www/kastheatre.com for the method and environment of what to expect.
Definition of Furies: Greek Erinyes, also called Eumenides, in Greco-Roman mythology, the underworld. They were three goddesses of vengeance and retribution who punished men for crimes against the natural order.

PURPOSE:
The FuryUs Collaborative Project has a multi-purpose:
1. Assisting theatrical artists to express their feelings in a safe space with focus and direction to process the traumas of misogyny and prejudices which have been so prevalent and consistent recently and throughout generations.
2. To raise further awareness in communities about the theme and create social activism.
3. To further the vision and mission that Art can create change.
4. To develop theatre artists who are seeking a safe environment to fully engage with Art, authentically and with mindfulness.
We are filming the process as a documentary of how devised theater can make a positive difference in the world.
