As a spokesperson for CST noted, arts and theatre has the ability to span the borders of countries and cultures, bringing together fans of performance to bond over their shared passions.

“The Children’s Shakespeare Theatre company (CST) is excited to team up with Russia’s Piano Theatre, a company of deaf children that perform through interpretive movement,” the spokesperson said, adding that the companies first met at the World Festival of Children’s Theater in Stratford, Ontario in June of 2016. The team at CST was inspired by the Russian company’s beautiful and compelling performance technique that spanned multiple language barriers and knew they wanted to work with them again.

CST is now sponsoring Piano Theatre to come to New York in May of 2017. The co-teaching workshop will offer lessons to both kids and adults around the tri-state area. As the spokesperson noted, the upcoming collaboration between the two groups is already creating quite a buzz in the theatre and children’s arts spaces.

“The workshops will incorporate clowning, movement, dance, and a little bit of Shakespeare into the mix. A performance festival in New York City and Nyack, New York will be the finale to this wonderful, joy filled workshop,” the spokesperson said.

Performances will also be taken to local schools which will combine Shakespearean sonnets with interpretive movement, all translated in ASL by local students. Both teams are enthusiastically bringing their unique methods to the arts community, joining the two countries and cultures through theatre and bringing participants along for the ride.
