When the Muhlenberg College Theatre & 舞蹈系去年秋天发出了征集提案的通知, for a performance festival to be presented this spring, 提案的指导方针可以归结为一个词:“组装”.”
“博狗娱乐官网对‘集会’这个词的第一次联想可能是博狗娱乐官网在小学里学会‘对毒品说不’的时候,” says Rebecca Lustig, 系里联合课程/生产项目的主任. “And while the word can be tied to education, it can also be tied to legislature, to parties, to Jane Austen, 也许与博狗娱乐官网最相关的是集体聚集的理念.”
Outside of that single coordinating idea, all proposals were welcome, from any Muhlenberg student, faculty, 或者工作人员-任何从十分钟的表演艺术作品到完整的音乐剧.
出现的演出阵容包括一出受欢迎的地下音乐剧, 受邀参加沉浸式“年度派对”,” a reflective ritual that holds space for grief, 以及一件探索荷马史诗《博狗体育》(Odyssey)文本的行为艺术作品.” 最初的演出阵容还包括一部原创音乐剧，灵感来自彼得·克鲁波特金(Peter Kropotkin)关于互助的作品, 后来演变成一个集体从事社区互助项目.
“我认为每个人都真的错过了成为过程的一部分，并拥有创造性的声音，”他说 Celeste Samson她是穆伦伯格学院的大四学生，目前担任该艺术节的学生艺术总监. “这是博狗娱乐官网将重聚的庆祝活动与学生戏剧合作的机会结合起来的方式.”
The festival will feature more than fifty performers, 越来越多的学生在创意和制作团队工作. Three of the five projects are student-led.
拉斯蒂格已经监督过渡到一个更周到和包容的方法，为部门的季节选择-一个强调过程和合作. 大会节是这种讲故事方式的延伸.
拉斯蒂格说:“通过在戏剧过程中接纳新的声音，博狗娱乐官网可以获得更丰富的故事。. “我很高兴能在这种程度上以学生为主导. We wanted to be sure to highlight their talents.”
The Assembly Festival lineup is as follows:
The Mutual Aid Project, advised by Ethan Philbrick, 学生集体是否在整个学期都参与了互助活动. 该小组计划在本学期举行七次会议，对所有人开放 在Muhlenberg社区探索如何创造性地计划一系列互助活动和一起演出, 也许是通过一系列的社会雕塑和其他艺术实践. Meeting dates are available at comfortzoneinfo.com/seeashow.

3月3日至5日，由莎拉·莱文执导的“你是热诚的邀请”是一次沉浸式戏剧体验. Every year the Crowlins throw a fantastical party. 去年，每个有幸得到邀请的人都滔滔不绝地谈论这件事. It seems too good to be true… or maybe too bizzare, 因为人们说他们去年在那里看到的东西听起来不像真的.

“玫瑰色-深红”，4月11日至13日这周，日落时分，由金·霍克勒(Kim Hoeckele)领导, Assistant Professor of Photography, 使用了荷马史诗中多个英文译本的重复文本 The Odyssey as its foundation for experimental performance. 剧本是一系列的小插曲，扭曲了叙事，破坏了对话，混淆了意义.
