person[ing] ~PLUS~ Office of Illegals: Dream On The Organism that Persons ~PLUS~ Ten Directions
person[ing]
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.
Devised & Performed by: The Organism that Persons (the OtP)
Projections: Jake Nathanson, Jordan Ross, Chris Rehmann
Creative Consultant: TBA

Office of Illegals: Dream On
Dream on, Bad Hombres! You’re about to have your door kicked in. Beware, illegal people! Imperial orders have been signed and you’re about to be extremely vetted. The creators of Bouffon Glass Menajoree and a cast of misfits ridicule the road to citizenship in Office of Illegals. Immigration just got freaky.
Featuring Lynn Berg*, Audrey Crabtree, Jack Elias, Karen Elias, Roy Koshy, Clara Francesa, Timothy McCown Reynolds*, Toni Ann DeNoble, and Megan Burke.
