The following projects were developed between 2011 to the present

Projects and initiatives took place in Florence, Italy; Los Angeles & Baltimore, USA; and Bratislava, Slovakia.
Work during the pandemic moved online for both community and educational programming.

We’re Open

In Bratislava, Slovakia artists, students and community members came together to create, explore the theme of being open and get to know one another better allowing for new relationships and partnerships to be seeded and grow. The project evolved during a semester of training in Art for Social Renewal with students of the Academy of Performing Arts.

Exploring The Four Pillars

We took the time during Covid isolation to reach out with friends and colleagues to discuss the Four Pillars which are integral to Art For Social Renewal. They are Kindness, Community (discussed below with Community Renewal International Founder, Mack McCarter), Artistry and Whole Artist Elements.

Our Voice Our Day

Artists & Non-Artists joined us for 5 ‘Open mic’ live streams using art to inspire deep discussion between young adults into our relationship to voting and participation in building healthy community. The project was spear-headed by an amazing group of young artists trained in Art For Social Renewal.

Juneteenth

This beautiful marathon of talent and discussion reflected community and individual spirit. This online event was a celebration of music, poetry, performance, discussion and community-building. We invite you to click into any moment of this 5 hour event – you won’t be disappointed!

An Explorer’s Desire

This project was originally produced in Florence, Italy, then Los Angeles California. The piece connects us with a common binding narrative of immigration, whether these stories travel back 300 years or 3 years. It was reconfigured in Baltimore to be performed around a table in a more intimate and interactive and self-reflective setting based on the Passover Seder.

Belarus Dream Theater

As part of the global initiative to place focus on the overt censorship in Belarus, we created work both in Los Angeles, CA and Florence, Italy.

Stop The Violence

The Global Theatre Project participated in the global movement, One Billion Rising, bringing diverse groups throughout Florence and over 2,000 people in Piazza Republic.

Rapping On The Tempest

In collaboration with Heart of Los Angeles Youth, this community-collaborative event was filmed and screened at Stratford-Upon=Avon’s annual Shakespeare Birthday Celebration

Especially Now – Create The World Together

Our audience was invited to participate in a provocative evening around the work and murder of Anna Politkovskaya presented in Association with Amnesty International and in Collaboration with the Italian Cultural Institute in downtown Los Angeles. The play at the event’s center, A Stubborn Woman, was written by Stefano Massini

The Double Double Sonnet

Our ongoing relationship with Stratford-Upon-Avon brought community members together for this multi-lingual creative happening which was filmed and streamed in England as part of the annual Shakespeare birthday celebrations.

A Stubborn Woman: A Theatrical Memorandum on Anna Politkovskaya

The Global Theatre Project partnered with the University of Texas, Austin for a six-week summer semester program in Florence resulting in multiple community-engaged projects. Among which was the final production of Stefano Massini’s brilliant work staged as a part of the Firenze Summer Arts Festival.

What Is Our Part?

In partnership with Actors for Autism in Los Angeles, our 4th annual event commemorating Shakespeare allowed our company to reach into the community of young people with disabilities who shared their talent and their intellect with us. This film was also screened in Stratford-Upon-Avon.
