A play that refuses to be a play...
Two performers, an amateur and a professional will perform an
unscripted love story in a storefront window. Safely hidden behind the
glass and shamelessly exposed to the onlookers, the two clash, merge and
collapse in a desperate attempt to get to the place more real than reality
itself. Their search for innocence turns out unexpectedly when the third
character enters their virtual
Eden... |

Day Job: American Peril is a
performative installation that uses the form of a retail clothing chain to
examine the inner workings of overt marketing strategies, blue-collar
labor and the rising dissatisfaction of society's work
force. Featuring day-long choreographed movement cycles derivative of
the tasks assigned to a sales associate in a clothing story, highlighting
the performative aspect of labor by interacting with physical materials in
the space.
Leah Braun
Aron is an emerging young artist whose previous performance works
include participation in Creative Time'?s 59th Minute Series, and
"Cake in the Rain," an original piece performed at The Experimental
