In this interview, we have the privilege of evoking Greg Pierotti's insights. He is a University of Arizona Theatre professor, a distinguished artist, and the co-author of THE LARAMIE PROJECT, which he now directs at the university. The script evolved from his work with Moisés Kaufman and the renowned Tectonic Theater Project in New York City. The company is best known for developing new plays using 'Moment Work,' a trademarked playwriting method that employs rigorous research and collaboration in a laboratory environment. The process is a significant part of Pierotti's work, which resides at the intersection of theater and anthropology.
There s not a theater kid in the country who doesn t know the name Moises Kaufman. What you might not know is that he ll be on the University of Arkansas campus this fall with his Tectonic Theater Project, working with the Theatre Department s new cohort of MFA students.
