KLECKSOGRAPHY 2020: August 9-23

KLECKSOGRAPHY 2020

KLECKSOGRAPHY is an annual event that brings together more than fifty artists to make something unimaginable. Inspired by the ink-blot test for which Rorschach Theatre was named, all participating artists will be shown a single, distinctive piece of visual art and on Sunday, August 9 that single image explodes into a number of wildly different visions: a handful of short plays and short films that will showcase the talents of the best of DC’s emerging artists.

This re-envisioning of our Klecksography program was based on the results of a DC theatre survey undertaken by Rorschach in the fall of 2017.  More than 40 local artistic directors and producers responded in addition to dozens of freelance artists. Based on those results, we’ve invited other companies into our process and rebuilt the program to focus on networking and connection. By providing producers with a high-impact, low-investment way to vet new artists, we aim to close the gap many artists experience in trying to connect with new companies.
