Experimental Theatre & The New Now | Erika Wilhite | TEDxUniversityOfCentralArkansas

Erika explains community-centric, ensemble divised, site-specific theatre. These are immersive performances that engage with the audience in novel ways to provide true, pure communal experiences capable of changing minds and opening hearts. This is your brain on theatre. Erika Wilhite is founder and artistic director of the Artist’s Laboratory Theatre (ALT), an experimental, site-specific theatre that includes its community members in their process and productions in unique and meaningful ways. She is a writer, director, and performer for the ALT ensemble, and strives to create theatre of “extraordinary quality that encourages community input.” She holds a MFA in Theatre from University of Central Florida, and has received additional training in physical and devised theatre from SITI Company with Anne Bogart, and Double Edge Theatre (America’s oldest “laboratory theatre”). Erika also leads “Play a Part,” a long-term performance residency through which she devises an original performance with a community group. She is currently in residence with ALT at the Northwest Arkansas Community Correctional Center in Fayetteville. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
