a paradigm shift for women actors.
The Muse Project asks actresses, “What role have you always wanted to play? What story have you always wanted to tell? What do you need to create that role & tell that story?”
This is a rare opportunity... I love working in this way because we are working outside of the confines of the way the industry often tells us we need to work, and very interesting work is produced when we aren't trying to conform to the typical expectations of what a 'new play' is or what a 'performance' or 'audience relationship' should be.
-Mia Rovegno, director & playwright
what is the muse project's mission?
We seek to disrupt the imbalance of opportunity and ownership of work for women actors through the development of challenging, actor-driven theater works and focused research into their participation in American theater. Our company shifts the theater paradigm through the empowerment of women actors as creators and content generators.
The Muse Project is an actor-first process. The Muse Project team will assist each actor individually and help her to create a dream team of collaborators (actors, writers, directors, musicians, etc.). She will be given the time, space, and other resources necessary to arrive at a semblance of a first iteration, usually through a workshop process termed "Mini Muse." Then, the piece will be shared with an audience to incite discussion and further development.

It is really important to me that the project is female-driven and actor-driven--it feels like it's much closer to the essential nature of theater. |
This way of playmaking reminds me of the heyday of The Group Theatre; how Odets wrote for specific actors in the company. When a playwright is writing specifically to the strengths of an actor, the play fits like a glove. While it's daunting to start with a blank canvas, it's also thrilling to be invested in a project from conception. To be part of a conversation about character arcs, plot points, and the overall "message" of the play engages every aspect of my creative being. It is very humbling and empowering as a storyteller to be in the room witnessing the 'best idea win.' |
thank you for visiting.
