Urban Researh Theater
New York City, Jan.–Feb. 2006
The Urban Research Theater is an institute for practical research in physical and vocal craft. Performance artists, practitioners of traditional forms, and other interested parties are invited to enter into specific lines of inquiry with the human body and voice. The use of props, notebooks, spoken language and other technologies will be strictly limited. This work can be a kind of active meditation, focused on balancing precision with spontaneity. We will practice stretches, exertions, repetitions, precise movement structures, and song fragments as tools for developing quality in awareness.
