Circle Squared Collective Artistic Director, Ricky Pak, recently joined the Central New York YMCA Arts and Education Branch Board of Directors with the hope of furthering bonds with C2C and the CNY area community.
As part of those efforts, the C2C will produce a reading of an excerpt from a new play in development by Tectonic Theater Projects' Leigh Fondakowski, entitled "Casa Cushman" as part of a fundraising event for the Y. This reading is directed by Ricky Pak and features performances from Associate Artistic Director, Whitney Pak and company member Alyssa Otoski-Keim.
The play is based on the true life story of Charlotte Cushman, an American actor from the 1900s who rose to fame for playing all the male roles in Shakespeare's canon, most especially known for her portrayal of Romeo. All proceeds from this literary dinner go towards helping the Y to continue its efforts in bringing arts and educational programming for local schools and adult learners.
Artistic Director Ricky Pak continues into his fifth year as an Assistant Professor of Acting at Syracuse University where he brings his knowledge and background in Television and Film Acting, Improv, and Devised Theatre to the next generation of Performing Artists.
His research also includes the development and training in Motion/Performance Capture, Virtual Reality, and Augmented Reality performance technologies, while continuing to evolve Community-Engaged Theatre and Devising opportunities for his students.
This summer, Ricky will once again be working with the Tectonic Theater Project to teach the devised theatre technique of Moment Work alongside master practitioner, Scott Barrow in a week-long workshop focusing on teaching pedagogy.
