Both silly and moving, Shift/Change explores the importance of our past - and how critical it is for our future.
This show is the culmination of Alley Theatre’s five-week Conservatory, which led 25 students through the process of devising a work of theatre. Over a five-week period, students explored the questions, “Whose shoulders do I/we stand on?” and, “Which of their lessons have I/we forgotten?” Additionally, they honed their skills in classes lead by an array of professional theatre makers – allowing them to grow as performers and ensemble members.
