Synopsis: | Would you rather be smarter or taller? If you could have one extra hour today, what would you do with it? What's the most important thing you've ever done that you didn't want to do? How much change, just change, do you think is in the pockets and bags of the people in this room? How Much is Enough explores notions of "value" in all its poetic iterationsquantitatively through our relations to money and qualitatively by asking what we hold dear. The piece itself is built entirely out of questions posed by three performers to audience members, to each other, to the universe, and then some, about how we live our lives, what plans we've made for the future and what advice we can offer one another as we attempt to create lives of value. Equal parts town hall meeting, party, guide for the perplexed&and then some, How Much is Enough gathers its greatest theatricality from the most interesting people in the theatrethose who usually sit in the dark. | |||||

Notes: | part of A Thousand Words: Seven Short Plays On Photography | |||||
Synopsis: | This evening of new short plays is inspired by Susan Sontag's book On Photography. The producers describe it as illuminating "the complexities and questions that photography raises. From grieving parents left with only a photo of their deceased son to a cheeky calendar photo shoot, the collection of short plays looks at the medium from a variety of angles and offers searing, heartfelt and even funny riffs on Sontag's commentary. The evening serves as a modern call and response between cultural criticism and performing arts." | |||||

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | Austin, Texas-based ensemble Rude Mechs returns to New York and makes its Dance Theater Workshop debut with the New York premiere of The Method Gun, a piece exploring the life and techniques of Stella Burden, an apocryphal actor-training guru of the '60s and '70s. Ms. Burden's training technique, The Approachoften referred to as "the most dangerous acting technique in the world"fused Western acting methods with risk-based rituals in order to infuse even the smallest role with sex, death, and violence. Physically visceral and visually haunting, The Method Gun is a play about the ecstasy and excesses of performing, the dangers of public intimacy, and the incompatibility of truth on stage and sanity in real life. The Method Gun re-enacts the final months of her company's rehearsals for their nine-years-in-the-making production of A Streetcar Named Desire. | |||||
