The Civilians want to interview you!

jay-why

The Civilians are a theatre company that develops original projects based in the creative investigation of actual experience, and they want to hear from you!

Brooklyn is changing fast. We are creating BROOKLYN AT EYE LEVEL a theater show inspired by interviews about the transformation of Brooklyn and the controversial Atlantic Yards Project. If you have something to say about the communities surrounding the proposed project (Downtown, Ft. Greene, Clinton Hill, Crown Heights, Prospect Heights & Park Slope), we want to listen. We want to talk to long-term residents, recent arrivals, players in the Atlantic Yards story, as well as those who work or live in the area. Eager to hear from all perspectives.

If you want to be interviewed send us an email with a little information about yourself to Michael Premo, Project Coordinator: Premo(at)thecivilians(dot)org. For more information: www.brooklynateyelevel.org. These interviews will be performed along with original music and dance by Urban Bush Women live at the Brooklyn Lyceum, December 4th – 7th. Ultimately, the research will form the basis for a full-length play.

BROOKLYN AT EYE LEVEL is a project of The Civilians, a company the specializes in creating original theater from investigations into real life. Similar projects include "This Beautiful City," which premiered last year at the 2008 Humana Festival of New Plays and will be produced this winter at the Vineyard Theater in New York, and *Gone Missing *which recently enjoyed a seven-month Off-Broadway run at the Barrow Street Theatre.
