2025 Summer 10-Minute play festival

Disconnected: The stories we stand to lose ...

What happens when shared experiences disappear?

When digital interactions replace face-to-face connection, what is lost?
What happens when we no longer gather to witness, to feel, to share?


Join us to witness powerful, short plays that explore the fragile, irreplaceable power of human interaction —and why our community needs it now more than ever. This summer, ITC's brain-based collective, a group of local artists,  will produce a series of short plays that examines the issues of isolation and disconnections that comes in the digital world we now inhabit.  


Our collective members will  develop, rehearse, and perform these works, using our brain-based methodology to bring characters and stories to life in ways that feel raw, human, and utterly real.


Dates and times: TBA

The Brain-based collective

Welcome to the Collective

More than an acting class. More than a workshop. This is an artistic movement. Irvine Theater Company’s Brain-Based Collective is a community of actors, writers, and directors working together under a shared philosophy—one rooted in neuroscience, embodied cognition, and the mechanics of human behavior. This isn’t about memorizing lines or replicating performances. It’s about understanding how the brain naturally absorbs identity, memory, and emotion to create authentic characters and stories. It’s about training smarter, not harder, and working with a team of like-minded artists who want to innovate, challenge themselves, and build something bigger than a single production.

Our Mission

The Brain-Based Collective exists to: Create a shared artistic language rooted in cognitive science and storytelling psychology. Provide a collaborative environment where actors, writers, and directors grow together. Revolutionize the craft of acting and storytelling by integrating a brain-based approach to performance. Develop and showcase original works, with a special focus on our annual summer festival.

Who Should Join?

We are looking for actors, writers, and directors who are: Passionate about performance and storytelling.
Curious about the intersection of art and science.
Excited to collaborate within a dedicated creative ensemble.
Ready to push boundaries and create something truly original.

Membership and Committment

Membership in the collective means being part of an ongoing, evolving artistic community. We meet weekly for training, rehearsals, and project development. Members will have access to:

  • Brain-Based Acting Training – Groundbreaking techniques for character embodiment.
  • Script Development Workshops – A space for writers to refine ideas with actors and directors.
  • Performance Opportunities – The chance to work on original productions, including our summer festival.
  • A Professional Artistic Network – Build lasting connections with like-minded creatives.
  • Membership Fee - $200 membership fee per 6 months (covers our space rental fees and materials)
