	Sunday, February 27, 2011 The Natalya Piece: A Workshop Presentation Presented by Bard Theater Fisher Center, LUMA Theater Free; reservations required: 845-758-7900 Devised by Jim Calder, the Continuum Company’s artistic director, The Natalya Piece combines two primary elements. The first is the story of the real-life relationship between Anna Politkovskaya and Natalya Estemirova, a Russian journalist and a Chechen human rights worker, respectively, who were both murdered after reporting on abuses in Chechnya. This narrative is then framed, expanded, and jarred by a Furies-like Chorus whose response to these women’s experiences is infused with historical and neurological research regarding the nature of compassion and Western reactions to stories of horror and genocide. The play strives to rip apart our sentimental notions of empathy as a key step towards human transformation and political activism.Co-directors Jim Calder and Eliza Baldi will lead an ensemble of Bard students through a Wikipedia-style “open source” process of creation — actors, singers, musicians, and designers will contribute research, character development, music, movement, and text, in an approach that resembles the Joint Stock method.The Continuum Company brought a previous work, Sliding Into the Beast(a theatrical exploration of child soldiers in Africa, based on the bookBeast of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala) to Bard in 2008. The creation ofThe Natalya Piece will continue beyond the important Bard incarnation. The Continuum Company — including Continuum contributing artists Maggie Siff, Mia Barron, Nadia Bowers, Nina Arianda, and Lynn Hawley (a visiting professor in the Bard Theater Program) — is working with Epic Theater Ensemble to develop the piece further. The project will be in residency at the La Pietra Theater Festival in Florence, Italy, in the summer of 2011, and will continue its process of development through a series of NYC–based workshops and conferences. An Off-Broadway run of The Natalya Piece is anticipated for the fall of 2012.
