Mind the Gap’s primary goal is to use theatre as a creative tool to increase empathy and communication between generations. The workshop will culminate with a public presentation in which the collaborative work is performed by the participants. No theatre experience is required to participate in the program. \n \nYouth stipends are $250 per person.\n \n\n\n\nProgram Goals\nThrough the workshop participants are able to: \n\nInvestigate\, listen and empathize with someone of another generation\, while using playwriting as a tool to understand and represent their unique experience\nBroaden their perspective\, see the other generation in a new light\, and take on the task of telling someone else’s story with respect and understanding\nShare their stories and ultimately see them interpreted through another’s eyes making meaning out of their personal narratives and gaining insights into their own lives\n\nImportant Criteria\n\n\n\n\nDesire to share\, listen and create – sharing your stories with someone of another generation and giving them permission to use your stories as inspiration for a play.\nDesire to bring your curiosity\, stories\, experiences\, creativity\, listening ears\, and willingness to share at every session.\nDesire to perform and act both individually as well as within an ensemble.\nDesire to collaborate generously and with an open mind.\nDesire and ability to attend every session. Since most of the work that we will do together will be in partner groups\, potential participants with fewer conflicts will be prioritized over those with more conflicts.\n\nThings to Remember\n\n\n\nIt is important to note that Mind the Gap is not an acting class; performance is merely the tool through which we mind the gap between generations.\nMind the Gap is not focused exclusively on the past. During the program participants explore the past\, present and the future. However\, Mind the Gap is not a documentary or verbatim theatre program. Intergenerational interviews are used as inspiration\, not as the sole material from which artistic content is created. Participants are treated as artists.\nMind the Gap is not a mentoring program. All participants are seen as equal in the process. We value everyone’s stories\, input and life experiences. At New York Theatre Workshop we believe that we always have something to learn from each other\, regardless of age.\nAlthough we encourage everyone to push past their comfort zones\, we do not demand that anyone share anything that they feel is too personal or too private. On that note\, if participants share something with their partner that they wish not to have shared or written about\, participants always have the right to ask their partner(s) to exclude any information from the artistic piece(s).\n\n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Teaching artist Noor Hamdi (they/them)\n \n \n \n \n \n Teaching artist Marty Chandler (they/them)\n \n \n \n\nLearn more about New York Theatre Workshop at nytw.org. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][/fusion_builder_row][/fusion_builder_container] URL:https://mahaiwe.org/event/new-york-theatre-workshops-mind-the-gap-intergenerational-performance-program/ LOCATION:Indigo Room\, 20 Castle Street\, Great Barrington\, MA\, 01230\, United States CATEGORIES:Field Trips,Mahaiwe Presents ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mahaiwe.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Mahaiwe-029.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250407T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250407T100000 DTSTAMP:20260525T121317 CREATED:20241024T142728Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250228T153519Z UID:10001258-1744020000-1744020000@mahaiwe.org SUMMARY:How to Survive Middle School DESCRIPTION:60-minute performance\nRecommended for: Ages 9-13 / Grades 4-8 \nComedian Robert Post barely survived Middle School. Struggling because of various learning disabilities\, he found that making people laugh saved him. In this brand new multimedia performance\, kids talk to kids in a compelling\, funny and educational show. Dealing with real issues affecting students today including social media\, testing\, bullying and peer pressure these video testimonials by kids and their advocates (along with a generous dose of Post’s signature humor) is sure to resonate with students. \nOne of Robert Post’s childhood report cards in Columbus\, Ohio\, gave a hint as to how his future might unfold. Not amused by Robert’s antics\, his teacher created a whole new column of categories describing maladaptive behavior. Happily for audiences around the world\, Post stuck with antics. The result: a dazzling performance career that continues to defy categories. \nDownload reservation form to apply URL:https://mahaiwe.org/event/how-to-survive-middle-school/ LOCATION:Mahaiwe Performing Arts Center\, 14 Castle Street\, Great Barrington\, MA\, 01230 CATEGORIES:Field Trips ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://mahaiwe.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/681573981-7aefef8f10c3cd603d2755babc04f20e8ed2ed38e78856c5daf347eb5a75b8fc-d_2400.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20250319T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20250319T100000 DTSTAMP:20260525T121317 CREATED:20240806T144715Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250228T155025Z UID:10001226-1742378400-1742378400@mahaiwe.org SUMMARY:Mermaid Theatre’s Goodnight Moon & The Runaway Bunny DESCRIPTION:60-minute performance\nSuggested for Ages 4-8 / Grades Pre-K-3\n \nGoodnight Moon is a celebration of familiar nighttime rituals\, while The Runaway Bunny's pretend tale of leaving home evokes reassuring responses from his loving mum.
