Devised & Performed by: The Organism that Persons (the OtP)
Projections: Jake Nathanson, Jordan Ross, “A Lady Called Camille”

Using borrowed text, song, & movement, The Organism that Persons (The OtP) seeks to create new worlds from old ones and offer new perspectives on what it means to be a person. This first installation of person[ing] borrows from the 1971 documentary A Lady Called Camille, the book ‘Architectural Body’ (Gins & Arkawa), and musical samplings from Depression-era tunes to Lana Del Rey. The OtP draws from classical & postmodern dance, Buffon (clown), vocal arts, & drag performance.

The Organism that Persons (OtP) is a persona of Chris Rehmann, Brooklyn-based artist & educator. Originally from Mississippi, Chris studied in the Experimental Theatre Wing at NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. Since graduating Chris has performed at La MaMa, Dixon Place, The New York International Fringe Festival / The C.O.W., Daniel’s Spectrum (Toronto), & Pig Iron. More at crehmann.com.
