Riot X is Riot Theatre’s experimental ensemble. We are rooted in the aesthetics and structure of the Neo-Futurists and their show Infinite Wrench, previously titled Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind. Their work is non-illusory theatre meaning there is no suspension of disbelief. The cast does not play characters, the setting is the stage, the time is the present, there is no attempt to convince the audience that the players are anyone other than themselves in any other time or place feeling any emotions other than what is true for the actor in the moment. More information can be found here: https://neofuturists.org/. In their shows, they perform 30 plays in 60 minutes and the audience selects the order in which the plays are performed.
Riot X follows this Neo-Futurist model. Our shows are comprised of 30 original scripted plays of the cast’s creation. We work collaboratively to create new plays for each show. The plays are short - around 2 minutes - and are based in truth and the actors’ personal experiences. The plays are at times funny, deep, goofy, raw, abstract, profound, or just a fart joke. They can be physical and movement based, still and text based, silent, take place in the dark, etc. We rehearse once a week and perform shows once a month. Performances take place at The Rozzie Square Theatre, 5 Basile St. in Roslindale.
We are seeking new ensemble members to grow as a company that is diverse and inclusive, welcoming people of any race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, age, size and ability to audition. Experience writing and performing (music, theatre, comedy, anything) can be helpful, but is not a prerequisite. Being comfortable onstage and performing content that may at times expose vulnerability is a must. For the audition, you will be asked to perform a 2 minute piece of your own original creation that reflects who you are, how you express yourself, and how you interact with the world around you. The solo performance will be followed by a group workshop. To sign up for auditions please email Joe Gels at joe@theriottheater.com. Please bring your play ready to perform (along with any relevant props), a printed copy of your play, and a headshot and resume OR a picture of yourself and list of relevant artistic work you’ve done.
