KCACTF Region VII

Simulation is a fast-growing industry that few theatre-makers have heard of. That’s unfortunate because our craft and creativity make us uniquely qualified for this work and the potential benefits (personal and professional) are tremendous. This workshop, intended for craftspeople, performers, designers, and faculty alike will address what simulation is (what the heck we’re talking about) outline some of those potential benefits (why you should care), and explore how to get plugged in today and post-graduation. Whether you’ve participated in simulation before or the concept is entirely foreign to you, we’d like to invite you to come share and brainstorm with us. Of particular interest for faculty attendees will be testimonial from Nancy Lee-Painter, professor of theatre at LCSC, who has succeeded in fostering interdepartmental collaboration that offers theatre students the opportunity to apply their valuable skillset while assisting the learning of their peers across disciplines.
