Carrie Klewin
 
 
Carrie Klewin creates intuitively layered theatrical productions collectively conceived by an ensemble driven process. A philosophy of imaginative collaboration is most evident in her devised productions. Original work developed from company-based improvisation, creates performances in the traditions of dance theatre and commedia dell’arte. A penchant for new play development has led Carrie to working on many premiers, including new musicals and operas. Although she demonstrates an affinity for contemporary work, she has focused much of her career on re-imagining classics, such as those by Carlo Gozzi, Shakespeare, and Tennessee Williams. She continuously examines the venerable challenge of producing classic work relevant to a modern audience with productions like The Beggar’s Opera, and The Pirates of Penzance. Social consciousness frequently dominates project selection, recently working with theatre artists such as Catherine Filloux, Erik Ehn, Roberta Levitow, and with organizations such as Theatre Without Borders, Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company, and the Joan B. Kroc Institute for Peace and Justice. Carrie also founded The International Theatre Network, a social networking site for theatre artists dedicated to social change worldwide. Carrie is the Artistic Director of 3rd Space Theatrical Laboratorium, and has worked with The Sundance Institute, Arena Stage, Signature Theatre, Woolly Mammoth, and The Kennedy Center, among others. She is the Region VIII SDC Coordinator for the Kennedy Center’s American College Theatre Festival, a former Helen Hayes Judge, an alumna of Director’s Lab West, and a member of SDC.
