Mission

Our mission is to host radically affordable, full-immersion development residences for emerging and established artists.

Activities

This is a great choice for kids who are interested in theater but eager to try something more offbeat than, say, Oklahoma.

The Westside Experiment offers students the skills to create original devised theater in collaboration with a working theater company in residency at IRT. The progressive Young Actor’s Laboratory program still covers all the theater essentials, like physical-acting technique, improvisation, voice, script writing, shadow and mask techniques, and the ever-popular stage combat but with a decidedly downtown twist.
