We staged the world premiere of our original play "Refuge", created and performed in collaboration with Teatri Oda from Prishtina, Kosovo. "Refuge" was written by Matt Opatrny in collaboration with the ensemble, with translation by Florent Mehmeti. We developed two new plays "Misconceptions" by Steve Wangh and "Irreparable" by Keith Hamilton Cobb, to be produced in future seasons. These projects involved 65 artists and reached an audience of over 1,500. 0 104413 Training sessions were held throughout the year with up to 40 artists per session, to practice methods of actor training and methods for collaborative development of new work for the stage. Training is provided free of charge to all artists who are invited to participate. This program reached a total of 69 artists. 0 5400 We taught physical and devised theatre workshops, and gave lectures on creating devised theatre and the history surrounding our production of "Refuge" (which was based on real events that took place in Albania and Kosovo during the Holocaust) to students at Baruch Performing Arts Center. These lectures and workshops reached approximately 250 students. 0 600 110413 Jessica Burr Artistic Director, Board of Directors, Secretary 40 21450 0 0 Matt Opatrny Managing Director and Treasurer 40 0 0 0 Lisa Reilly Vice President 0.5 0 0 0 Arthur Strimling President 0.5 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NY Matt Opatrny 530 West 45th Street 4G New York NY 10036 6462380829 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 65233 35767 43565 52420 88932 285917 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 65233 35767 43565 52420 88932 285917 77230 208687 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 26454 7353 22311 47085 33304 136507 422424 136507 0.49402 0.43407 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 This figure represents revenue from audience members at performances, as well as fees paid by presenting theatres and universities for performances and workshops taught.
