the conference
In the fall of each year, The Project seeks submissions for the spring conference. Once the writers and their projects are chosen by our selection committee, The Project assists each writer by identifying a team and creating a preliminary strategy for the evolutionary process to follow. Each project is assigned a director, a dramaturg, and a cast of actors.
At the conference, the words on the page are given life through daily script-in-hand rehearsals. Over a 14-day period, up to six works and their writers experience full development with their team of collaborators who provide as much input as necessary for the individual writer's process. The writers are supplied with the valuable opportunity of revising based not only on their own reactions to the rehearsals, but also on the constructive and nurturing feedback from their development teams. At the end of the two weeks, each script shares a final reading in front of a community of participants and supporters.
In addition to these full development projects, as many as seven writers-in-residence are invited to work on projects of their own choosing and serve as an available resource to other writers at the conference. These writers are typically individuals whose body of work has garnered praise and recognition.
