With a recent NEA grant and Samuel French Award, The Simon Studio , announces its new Professional Lab for Writers. This is a process-oriented "gymnasium" and production company. Selected writers participate with professional actors, directors, conceptual artists and producers under the studio Director, Roger Hendricks Simon. At the Simon Studio, professional actors and directors actively participate with resident writers to develop new works in progress. In this working community, works are explored and developed through staged readings, rehearsals, in-depth critiques and then considered for our professional production unit. Long-distance consultation services are also available.
Selected early career and established writers participate in the SIMON STUDIO Professional Lab – interacting with actors, directors and producers as they write and rewrite new plays, musicals and screenplays. Both in house residencies and personal long distance consultation services are available mentored by Roger Hendricks Simon and industry guests. Cold and prepared staged readings often develop into fuller public and industry presentations and productions. In addition writers can participate as actors and directors in the Lab. |
