| Ryan Hartigan is an award-winning director and performer from Aotearoa-New Zealand. He linked with the CTC for its 24-Hour Play Festival, and subsequently was invited to join the company. He directed The Last Five Years for the company, and he looks forward to further adventures with the innovative, ambitious and elegant CTC. He has won multiple awards, fellowships and residencies, including a Chapman Tripp award as director (New Zealand’s Obies), the Graduate School Fellowship 2007 at the University of Minnesota, and a Massey University artistic residency. He is currently a PhD student in theater and performance studies in the Brown University/Trinity Rep Consortium. He has held teaching positions at many universities and conservatories. He is also a leading improvisation performer and trainer, teaching improvisation across the southern hemisphere, and following his relocation to the United States, currently performs with The Bit Players improv troupe in Newport. His most recent productions include the New Zealand premiere of Leonard Bernstein’s musical/chamber opera Trouble in Tahiti and a 2008 commission for the prestigious Works in Progress series at the Red Eye Theater, Minneapolis. He spends his spare time attempting to look like Joe Strummer and Morrissey, and fielding questions from people who wonder how he has managed to amass his CV while eating, sleeping and being young enough that he is still mistaken for a college sophomore. He welcomes explanations. CTC Credits: Waiting for Godot- July 2010 - Director The Last Five Years - February/March 2010 - Director 5th annual 24-Hour Play Festival - January 2010 - Director |
