Description
Summary:The shared traits of what we can clumsily label devised work include the agency of performer, the presence of designers from the inception of an idea through development, the melding of positions, the rehearsal room as laboratory, with investment into developmental processes. Recognizing the importance of hospitality, particularly in a moment when acute economic pressures challenge process because basic expenses make the creation of new work more of a conceptual wish than a pragmatic reality, we invite companies into our artistic home. An exclusive performance lab, as well as access to scene, costume, and media shops with various technical, administration, and student assistance as needed, is provided.
