I have mixed feelings about Maria Hassabi’s SoloShow, which runs for two more nights (the 13th & 14th, 8:30 pm) at Imago Theater. Part of me could really get into what Hassabi was wanting to convey. The other part of me thought that the overall presentation of the show may have gotten in the way […]

The Wooster Group and Elizabeth LeCompte
Five minutes into Elizabeth LeCompte’s roundtable discussion of There Is Still Time..Brother, the legs were knocked out of my primary criticism of the show. The Wooster Group has been billing There Is Still Time as an “anti-war film,” which implies a considerably more pointed tack than the 360-degree, interactive film actually takes (read a description […]

Performance Art for the Interwebs Age
The Extreme Animals Sit Down show, Music is a question with no answer, last night was pretty rad. Jacob Ciocci and David Wightman (Extreme Animals, Paper Rad, You Can’t Do That on Television) kept it fairly casual and presented about an hour of video, mix-taped with music/sound that they were playing and mixing live. I […]

Gare St. Lazare Players: Words, Words, Words, Well Acted Words
It must be said that I am both very fond of Samuel Beckett, and that my previous experience seeing Conor Lovett perform has made me quite the fan Gare St. Lazare Players Ireland (GSLP). Given these things, I was still very determined last night to go to Conor Lovett’s first TBA performance , First Love […]

Dance… 10. Looks… 10. An Evening with Cédric Andrieux
It can be difficult to cultivate intimacy in the theater. There are so many barriers between an audience and a performer, not the least of which is just the strangeness of a group of people seated in a dark auditorium, facing the stage, separated by distance, and lighting, and that damn fourth wall we’re all […]

History, Satire, and Hipster Aesthetics in Dayna Hanson’s Gloria’s Cause
Walking out of Dayna Hanson’s Gloria’s Cause last night, I had a thought that Patrick Alan Coleman vocalized before I could get a word in edge-wise. “This is one of the TBA shows that I’m going to tell friends to go see. When they ask me: ‘what’s good?’, ‘what is worth spending some cash on?’ […]

Do You Use Technology? Then Don’t Miss Mike Daisey’s The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs.
I have a hard time imagining Mike Daisey‘s The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve Jobs won’t be one of the best shows at TBA this year, if not the best show. I know this TBA’s still young, and that there’ll be plenty of good, even great stuff to come—but goddamn. I’ve three or four […]
