Piven Theatre - OFFICIAL

Celebrating over 35 years as a nationally recognized and acclaimed theatre arts training center, Piven Theatre Workshop offers a full curriculum of classes for young people and adults. Within the nurturing environment of the Piven class, our students are free to liberate their imaginations, joyfully experiment with theatre games and improvisational techniques, and develop the skills to achieve spontaneity and truthfulness in each moment on stage.With a focus on ensemble and artistic collaboration, each student is encouraged to express their own unique voice and point of view. Learning the value of self-expression while still maintaining a responsibility to the group, each artist develops an understanding of themselves as a unique and valuable part of the greater whole. Together, students discover the magic of presence, the mystery of timing, and the astonishment of self-expression and theatrical transformation.The Mission of the Piven Theatre Workshop is to preserve a process of creative exploration that celebrates each individual's unique reative voice through an ensemble-based, community-oriented approach to theatre training and performance.
