"Tempest Reconfigured: Culminating Performances" : final initial project presentations.

The Tempest Reconfigured collaboration between Fort Point Theatre Channel (FPTC) and five Boston arts and community partners has already proven to be a positive experience for all involved, even prior to the final presentations, which will be held in November at the Codman Square Health Center in Dorchester and the Boston Public Library’s Copley Square Branch.

For the past several months, FPTC and its partners – Artists’ Theatre of Boston, The House of Escada, Luminarium Dance Company, OrigiNation Cultural Arts Center, and Petrichor – have been using a variety of artistic and performance approaches to develop short succinct presentations that draw from monumental themes that all have a place in Shakespeare’s The Tempest. This collaborative effort has not been shy about tackling the consequences of colonialism, racism, gender stereotypes, immigration, and climate change.
