Synopsis:

Elegy for a Vacant Lot, an adventurous work of movement theater, combines scored and real-time sports forms, riffing on sport as both a kind of dance and a mode of true collective improvisation. A play-by-play radio broadcast gives rise to the voice of a poet, who, out of the state of play finds first a language for collective memory, and then a singular, intensely intimate voice, equal parts joy and pain. Elegy positions itself at the intersection of disciplines, influenced as much by the playfulness of jazz improvisation as it is by theater or dance; dispensing with theater's fixed notion of character, the performers play the piece like a sport. With text freed from the burdens of linear narrative, Elegy celebrates the pleasure of language for its own sake, seeking out a sense of meaning closer to music than to story. The work's state of play is rooted in a fluidity of roles (as one player becomes another) and forms radio play-by-play becoming poetry, dance becoming sport

Synopsis:

An original work of physical theater combining freeform text, multi-scale physical scores, and game structures, Right After's plot is centered around the radical life and work of sculptor Eva Hesse. Drawing from her extraordinary body of work, unusual materials, and journal writings, the piece will take audiences on a chaotic ride through The Chocolate Factory's many spaces. The ensemble of three performers will play a range of roles, including Hesse and the critic who conducted Hesse's final interview just months before her untimely death. Right After's movement style is inspired by choreographer Trisha Brown's 'wall-walking' performances of the 1970's and the urban sports of Parkour and Free Running. The Chocolate Factory will be used as a two-tiered obstacle course, to be run during the piece, with the theatre's downstairs space also housing a pre-show installation of clothing and sculptural materials that will later be used as costumes and design elements. Right After is a playful, athletic exploration of Hesse's artistic achievement that toys with the boundary between order and chaos, tracing the themes of 'art memory game', a phrase from a page of her journals.
