THE ART OF
NOTICING

Whether it is the small exchanges we share with strangers, the quiet moments with someone we love, the beginnings of a friendship, a breaking heart, or a healing one, life itself is a magical thing. The audience is invited to notice these slivers of life in all their tumultuous wonder through a glimpse into the twisting lifelines of eight people. The Art of Noticing explores the complexities of individual lives while weaving the audience into the threads of interconnectivity within humanity. After all, if we are lucky enough to be alive together, at the same time, are we not all connected?

Established by a group of former drama majors, known as New Georgia, this grant seeks to support a student project (play, film, or other media) based on freethinking and originality. Grant projects should be initiated by undergraduate majors and/or graduate students in the Department of Theatre and Film Studies in the Franklin College of Arts and Sciences.

The criteria for receiving the grant will include artistic risk-taking and new approaches in concept and expression, while maintaining an appreciative audience. Each project should creatively apply one or more of the academic disciplines included in the Department’s curriculum.
