Our Mission
The Action Collective is a community of theater artists dedicated to exploring and expanding the actor’s role in the theatrical process. The Action Collective cultivates a unique social and creative environment by nurturing its community of working players.
The Action Collective formed to offer an alternative to the inherently hurried nature of a traditional rehearsal process, which often demands results at the expense of reflection. The Action Collective provides actors with a forum to connect with one another artistically, immediately. Actors are empowered through The Action Collective extend invitations to create work together.
The Action Collective responds to essential dilemmas within the acting community:
- How does an actor continue to explore craft outside of “work”?
- How is knowledge and experience conveyed in the acting community?
- How do actors meet one another outside of performance?
The Action Collective grows and encompasses new people by way of members inviting people they have enjoyed working with in the past. It began as a small, relaxed meet-up for a few hours with people who are really interested in the craft of their acting. It is a social setting, but fully committed toward the goal of doing more of what we love: acting.
