The Ashley Plays/ July 16 to 22

Jorge Luis Morejon. Ashley Plays. Self Performance.

1 Webster Ave. Yorkville. Toronto. 2007

Jorge Luis Morejon was a collaborator of the project The Ashley Plays under the artistic direction of Dr. Judith Rudakoff. "The Ashley Plays is a cycle of short, devised site specific performances. Each cycle begins with the participants collaboratively delineating a profile of a non gender specific character named Ashley. Ashley must be the focus of the work, but need not be a character who appears. Each "play" is created at an assigned or chosen site. The plays in live performance are viewed in random order by roving pods of spectators. On the Common Plants website, the audience moves through a virtual cycle of work and sites enacted through short video, slideshow images, text and audio clips. Each Ashley cycle of work shares a date/year, and participants must research and be true to local, regional, national and global current events. The germination, evolution and performance of the cycles can take place in a twelve hour period or over months of development. There is no linear narrative, but rather a common theme: Home. " Jorge Luis Morejon invites you to share with him and other colleagues these cyber plays.
