Crowdsourcing Creative Survival

Crowdsourcing Creative Survival

Presented by Greater Pittsburgh Arts Council at Online/Virtual Space

When COVID-19 hit, RealTime Interventions froze in its tracks. Like many others, this live-arts company led by Molly Rice and Rusty Thelin suddenly had no performances. The community- and performance-based work dried up, and the processes they leaned on to generate them were suddenly impossible.

Learn from Molly and Rusty’s experiences with crowdsourcing during the pandemic. They leaned on their audience, partners, and other artists to create new work in new forms. How can you apply this open-arms spirit to your process, to create the connection we're all craving, as well as innovations in your art?
Molly Rice and Rusty Thelin
Molly Rice and Rusty Thelin are a presenter team. Collectively, we are RealTime Interventions.

RealTime Interventions creates theatrical events and public experiences that connect human beings through empathy, via processes and practices of performance-based art. We seek to generate human connection, curiosity, and wonder, and to help audiences re-see their surroundings in unexpected ways. Our work is shaped by the immediacy of live and real-time art, and the creative possibilities that arise when people gather. RealTime makes performance-based art with a wide array of collaborators, from theater artists to refugees to rock bands to our neighbors down the street. We create vibrant “companies” with every new project, made up of people from diverse realms of experience united by the story we are telling together.
