Georgia Southern Theatre Explores the Touch in a World where you can’t

October 31, 2020

STATESBORO, GA – Georgia Southern Theatre second production of the fall is a devised piece based on the idea of what touch means in a world where you cannot. Created entirely by the cast and production team, this piece is a collection of sketches, dances and songs that are a reflection of the lived experience of the cast and they have navigated life in the world of COVID 19.

The students began the process with discussions about what touch meant, how it has changed, what the experience of living in a pandemic has meant for them. Affectionately referring to the process as one in which they threw a bunch of ideas at the wall to see what would stick, the resulting performance is both funny and heartfelt. Original poetry, dance and song work next to sketches performed over the medium of zoom.

Touch will be streamed starting on Nov. 11^th and will run through Nov. 15^th.  To access the streaming video go to http://georgiasouthern.edu/Theatre.

The production is available free of charge and will begin at 7:30 on Nov. 11^th.
