For a long while I’ve known that I want to create a space that raises up the work of my people. My tribe. My ensemble. This year I happened to find myself in the perfect personal crisis to prompt an official pilot launch of such a collective. One year post-grad with a degree in Directing, a hunger to do the thing I paid a lot of money to study, and no one hiring 23-year-old directors to direct. Then Damien Figueras sends me a text message one day, pretty out of the blue. I’m bored and want to work on something. I was trying to think of the last process I really enjoyed, and it’s Now We Are Six. Let’s get coffee? (That would be my thesis production, a new musical based on poetry by AA Milne, which Damien composed & music directed.)
Well, you know I love coffee, so we did. And now Apartment 20 is embarking on its first Fringe production, The Buried Life.
Apartment 20 is a new, ensemble theatre collective, committed to new work that emphasizes personal narrative, musicality, and unapologetically honest storytelling. Apartment 20 is interested in creating a community out of a rehearsal room, and inviting audiences into that community once a project reaches the stage. As an artist and collaborator, I believes in finding my tribe, and seeking out opportunities to share its collective and individual work. Apartment 20 was created as an active way to do so.
Apartment 20 was created as a platform and a gathering place; for artist-driven work and those invested in the discourse and experimentation required to bring passion projects into being. Each of the workshops and productions presented by Apartment 20 have been proposed by one or more of its residents, in an effort to investigate one unifying question.... "What song does ensemble sing that you hum in the dark?"
