Literary Agent: New Dramatists |
A native of the French Louisiana countryside with a doctorate in Performance Studies from NYU, Lenora Champagne thrives on urban life but more frequently writes about the dramas of women and men who live in a more direct relationship to nature. She came to New York to be a painter, but found her voice in performance. Champagne, who often collaborates with sculptors, composers and media artists, has been making work as a performance artist, playwright, and director since 1981. December 2011 marks the thirtieth anniversary of her work as a performance and theatre artist.

Notes: | written by Lenora Champagne, Lizzie Olesker | |||||
Synopsis: | TINY LIGHTS: Memory?s Storehouse/Infinite Miniature is a theatrical collaboration containing dual solos by playwrights/performers Lenora Champagne (Memory?s Storehouse) and Lizzie Olesker (Infinite Miniature). TINY LIGHTS presents an intimate yet heightened look at the richness of memory and story contained within everyday objects and gestures. Incorporating elements of Object Theater, gestural dance and poetic text, TINY LIGHTS unfolds intimately, with the audience seated on stage at the New Ohio Theatre. Using minimally technical, ordinary household elements (lamps, clotheslines, a portable record player, a suitcase, and a wig), TINY LIGHTS returns after a highly successful run at the Invisible Dog in Brooklyn. The 90-minute performance examines the small things in ones life while revealing the unexpectedly cosmic. The landscape of the body, domestic memories and personal history converge via the lost rooms we live in. | |||||
