Imagine being able to develop a unique performance from the ground up with the mentorship of an internationally acclaimed performance artist. That's exactly what a group of 17 Wake Forest University students enjoyed back in 2013 over a three-week residency with Tim Miller and their production of VOX. The student ensemble work was based on their own personal stories, experiences, and memories.
VOX, which is Latin for "voice", has been described as "an exploration of big mouths and full-throated tales" with all the humor, passion, and intensity of the human experience.
Since 1999 Tim has focused his creative and political work on marriage equality and addressing concerns that affect lesbian and gay couples in America. Tré Easton served as the first openly gay president of the student body at Wake Forest University, where he studied politics and theater. Tre is now a writer and political activist living in Washington, D.C. Tre says he's “focused on helping bring the reality of equality to the whole nation through writing, dialogue and actual activism.” His work has appeared in The Huffington Post and Politico.
Tim and former Wake Forest student body president and performer Tre Easton dropped by to talk about it with TA executive producer David Ford.. Tre began with a short excerpt from his piece in VOX.
