Sustainability Invitation Emerson Sustainability is currently preparing for the annual Campus Race to Zero Waste competition that runs from February through the end of March. It’s a friendly competition between universities in North America to reduce waste on campuses and raise awareness about waste-related behaviors. In celebration of Campus Race to Zero Waste, we are participating in the Green Event Certification program and we hope you will join us in this challenge. In advance of your travel to Boston, we encourage you to bring a reusable water bottle and/or hot thermos and utensils to reduce the need for single use products.

Through gender play, object study, queer reflections, sense memory, and repetitious failure, Rezes offers exercises and techniques in performance expansion for all theatre artists and educators to employ in rehearsal, on stage, or in the classroom.PART ONE:To begin, Fractals: Nonbinary Acting Methods is a workshop led by Jo Michael Rezes (they/them), who works as an actor and transmedia artist in Greater Boston. This workshop offers a nonbinary approach to the creation of character for performers and educators of all ages—with special attention to professional development for early-career actors. At AATE, Rezes offers theatre educators and performers methods for understanding the fractal patterns of gender in rehearsal. Workshop highlights: Yale Dramatic Association (virtual, 2021), Vassar College (2022), Lick-Wilmerding High School (May 2024), Massachusetts GSA Student Leadership Council (Aug 2024). This workshop was sponsored in part by a grant from the City of Boston Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture and with support from the Education Department of Company One Theatre. This workshop is dedicated to actor training free from binary ways of thinking, doing, and experiencing theatrical labor in rehearsal and the classroom. PART TWO: Rezes currently serves as the Curriculum Developer for The Theater Offensive's nationally award-winning True Colors queer youth theatre program. Rezes holds a Q+A about the incorporation of gender expansive techniques into classrooms and rehearsal rooms for all age levels, with special attention to QTPOC youth, as they have just completed a redesign of education programs at TTO. How can we teach queer methods in censored spaces or within queerphobic legislation? How can we support gender expansive students through and within the theatre industry? Can theatre become a space for play and imagination outside of the binary?
