Read & Rant es el club de lectura del Proyecto Atenea que explora obras escritas principalmente por mujeres. Leemos uno o dos guiones o materiales auxiliares durante el mes y normalmente nos reunimos cada tercer lunes en línea a través de Zoom, para discutir las obras. Aprenda en qué consiste un buen guión, discuta cómo nos afecta y explore las formas en que se relaciona con el mundo en general. Únase a nosotros para conversar con invitados que aportan una base de conocimientos en profundidad. Esta oferta mensual gratuita a la comunidad pretende concienciar sobre la infrarrepresentación de las historias de mujeres en los escenarios.

Todas las reuniones tienen lugar en Zoom a menos que se indique lo contrario.
READ & RANTS será cada TERCER LUNES de 6:30-8:30pm

Nota: No habrá Read & Rant en diciembre. 

When you register for the event on Eventbrite, you should receive a confirmation email.

  • Email subject line will say “Order Confirmation for Athena Project: Read & Rant [month, year]”. This initial email has a synopsis and the links to both scripts.
  • Two days prior to the event, you should receive another email with the subject line “Reminder for Athena Project: Read & Rant [month, year].” This email also includes the synopsis and links to both scripts.
  • Plan to read scripts well in advance before the Zoom meeting.

Please note that the scripts don’t come as attachments, they are .pdf links. So the body of the email will contain two paragraphs with the details of that month’s scripts.

For example:

Mak Shealy’ s Victorian Psychedelic Sleepover Play

On the eve of a 16th birthday, four teens meet after their writing is rejected by the school lit mag to create a Literary Zine of their own. Seeking editorial guidance, they conjure the ghosts of writers past and find themselves possessed by the spirit, chaos and conflict of the Victorian Era radicals they have long admired.

Content Warning: bullying, blood/bodily fluids, discussion of IVF, birth, substance use, disordered eating implied

“This was one of the most organized, most in-depth, most thoughtful and focused discussions about a play that I have ever participated in… and I’ve been writing for forty years. Athena takes the nurturing of women playwrights seriously, and I encourage playwrights to submit work and also to drop in and give a listen. It was a privilege to be part of it. As a woman on the spectrum, I actually felt welcome at the table.”

— Carolyn Gage

“This was my first Read & Rant and it was amazing! The plays were creatively insightful and the discussion elevating and inspirational. Thank you, Jennie, for turning me on to this group! And thank you to all who contribute to making these conversations happen!”

- Megan Weiler Crigger

 

“Athena Project’s Read & Rant program is part of a vital web of digital theatre that’s happening today. Making theatre accessible to people in the pandemic has been a nurturing, expansive experience for me over the past 3 years, and I look forward to seeing how Read & Rant develops as the pandemic continues. I’m grateful for theatres like Athena who saw a need for accessible theatre and met it with enthusiasm. It sends a very direct message to the immune-compromised and disabled community that we are seen and valued as theatre-makers and theatre-lovers.”

— Jordan Elizabeth Henry

OPORTUNIDADES DRAMATÚRGICAS REMUNERADAS CON ATHENA PROJECT'S READ & RANT

El Proyecto Atenea busca dramaturgos para unirse a nuestra red artística. Nuestro programa virtual Read & Rant combina el intercambio de obras teatrales con el público en general y los aspectos de desarrollo de nuevas obras de nuestro antiguo ciclo Plays In Progress, al tiempo que fomenta la colaboración entre dramaturgos y dramaturgos. Piense en un club de lectura de obras de teatro.
