I went to Chicago last week to see a theatre company that’s near and dear to my heart. T.U.T.A
I connected with this group while I attended University of Maryland. I did a production and learned so much about myself as an artist and person. T.U.T.A. originators moved to Chicago and I moved to NYC, but we’ve kept in touch. So, last Saturday I finally got a chance to get to Chicago and see a T.U.T.A production. It was so worth it.
Chekov is not easy to pull off. His work calls for actors that listen very loudly.
I’ve worked with the director, Zeljko Djukic before and I know how hard it is working on a production with him. His process asks so much from you and when you see the finished product you realize that you’ve grown as an artist. I could tell that the actors had invested so much in their performances. Silence, which is used to near perfection in this production, finds it’s characters’ silence being interrupted by each others issues.
From the relationships and heartache to the singing, it was like seeing a carefully woven tapestry. I was proud and moved.
Thanks you T.U.T.A.
