#TheBallantineDays 

Welcome to the home page for #TheBallantineDays - an original collaborative production that ended in performances as part of the HWS Theatre 2018-2019 Season. This page is designed to create an archive of the process by which #TheBallantineDays was created.

Clicking here will take you to the photo gallery and production team list of the final production of #TheBallantineDays.

Clicking here will take you to a page devoted to describing the process students in my Advanced Acting Styles: Devising for Performance class went through as they created the first #TBD, which was performed in front of a live audience without technical assistance, as their final exam on December 17, 2018. This page has lots of links to sample performances by students along the way, as well as their final performance as a class - so make sure you check it out!

Clicking here will take you to a blog about the process of transforming my students’ #TBD to a new script entitled #TheBallantineDays.

And finally, this will take you to a page that describes our approach to making social media an integral part of this production - an approach that was ultimately not fully realized due to our primary focus on the success of the production itself.

Video of #TheBallantineDays shot by Kelly Walker. The majority of this video comes from one performance, but due to battery switching we needed to make a few edits.
