The Living Word Project

The Living Word Project is a theater commissioning, developing and producing company, whose work crosses disciplines integrating photography, film, visual arts and new media into its creations.  As a collective of designers, performers, directors and technicians, our work endeavors to break open new modes of narrative, employing emerging aesthetics and techniques that push the possibilities of storytelling and theater. This fluid movement and conceptual relationship sets the framework for raising questions about and investigating the possibilities of collaborative and community participation, while highlighting the potential of the stage, the street and the gallery as spaces of self-expression when they are democratized through collaborative creative exercises. As artists, our aesthetic remains true to guiding principles of documenting the “underground”, or “marginalized” persons and movements in modern society.  While our storytelling devices may use portraiture, theater, visual art, and film, we look to have as an end-result, a series of performative and visual non-fiction essays in which the ethos of revolution, color consciousness, or racism are deconstructed as the result of historical facts, rather than inherent or implicit conditions of the human temperament.
