This summer I had the pleasure of working on a new project with Yanira Castro. We began with a series of extended interviews in the Spring and workshops in the Summer.
CAST, STAGE, AUTHOR is a trilogy of works to premiere for three weeks in September 2017 at three commissioning NYC venues: The Chocolate Factory, Abrons Art Center and The Invisible Dog Art Center. The project begins with a set of audio and video recordings with 15 NYC performers about the act of performing, the act of casting, and how imperfectly a cast might represent our public. These recordings form the material for three works that examine the dynamics and politics in three elements of performance: the cast, spectacle, and authorship.
