The Fortnight Project began as a Zoom group for femme-identifying performers to reconnect and re-experience the joy of performing in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. We would meet every two weeks (or every ‘fortnight’) to gather and share monologues, scenes, original writing, and handicrafts. Now that the pandemic has largely subsided, we hold meetings once a month in-person in NYC for our troupe members. Since our beginning in 2021, the joy we’ve found has empowered us to produce our own work in a space that allows for true collaboration, where actors are valued and empowered to shape the story as we rehearse. Our mission is to foster feminist creative spaces that foster sisterhood and empower performing artists.
