Klecksography: Rorschach’s Artistic Development Program

Klecksography was a game that Hermann Rorschach played  as a child in which children would make shapes out of ink on a blank page.  Inspired by this game he would go on to develop his famous psychological test, the Rorschach Inkblot Test.

KLECKSOGRAPHY is a collaboration between Rorschach and five other theatre companies from across the city to create a limited run event featuring a collection of new one-act plays. The project focuses on networking and opportunity by pairing theatre leadership with artists new to their companies. Additionally, the project embraces the metaphor of the inkblot test (and Hermann Rorschach’s original game) by having all six plays inspired by a single image or piece of art. Play-creation teams have been assembled from an open call for actors, directors, playwrights and filmmakers in order to minimize typical barriers for underrepresented artists.
