Exquisite Corps is inspired by storytelling and sees live performance as a collaboration between artists and audience. We start with the story, discovering its human truths and emotional core. From there, we create compelling and honest productions that turn the heart of the story into the world of the play. Through our holistic approach to storytelling, we hope to draw you into the world of the play as fully as possible. We invite you to see, feel and question along with us as we explore the human experience, telling a new story with every show we do. While we know that your experience will be unique to you, Exquisite Corps hopes that it will always feel exciting, moving and true.
Exquisite Corps: We start with the story and end where you take us.
In August 2009, Exquisite Corps presented its inaugural production of Love%u2019s Fire: Seven Short Plays Based on Shakespeare%u2019s Sonnets at the Arsenal Center for the Arts Black Box in Watertown, MA. The company then produced Infinite Story (interconnected new plays)at Boston Playwright%u2019s Theatre in September 2009 and a critically-acclaimed staged reading of The Two Gentlemen of Lebowski by Adam Bertocci at The Factory Theatre in February 2010. In April 2010, the company mounted its first full length play, Limonade Tous les Jours by Charles L. Mee and directed by Artistic Director Louisa Richards at The Arsenal Center for the Arts Black Box. Exquisite Corps closed its first season in September 2010 with the first installment in the [something] project, in which the company charged seven young directors with staging a scene from the play they would most like to direct if money were not object and the sky were the limit.
