Our Mission- EgoPo is a nonprofit repertory theatre company committed to revitalizing the great classics. We strive for virtuosity in vocal and physical performance in order to create innovative and provocative theatrical events. EgoPo advances the American acting technique through our professional conservatory and seeks to expand audiences with our education outreach programs. Our History- EgoPo, the 15-year-old award-winning theatre recently re- located to Philadelphia from New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina. EgoPo, whose name derives from the French "The Physical Self" was born in 1991 as a name for a theater company as well as an acting style. The EgoPo Company of actors undergo grueling training to create a vocal and physical style of acting that is extremely dynamic, yet remains textually driven. In their work, EgoPo draws on the belief that by listening to the body and following its impulses the actor will find greater emotional truth. EgoPo audiences, in turn, are swept into visceral and electrifying experiences. Founded by Artistic Director Lane Savadove, EgoPo has staged over two-dozen productions nationally in New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago, Washington D.C., internationally in Indonesia and Croatia, and on National Public Radio. Our Repertory- EgoPo has built an exciting repertory of classic theatre on the edge. Our shows are developed within our company using our unique acting method. We have brought our productions to across the country and across the world. Please contact us at producer@egopo.org to bring one our shows to your stage.
