Mourning Machine is a low-stakes participatory ritual designed to honor the history and resilience of the NYC theater community/ies during a time of uncertainty and reconfiguration. This event is part of an ongoing research and performance project about the “practice” of mourning-in-community, as a strategy for healing from the harmful aspects of our profit-driven culture. The event includes conversations and a reception.
Edge Effect is a “think and do tank” that creates participatory experiences for individuals to share knowledge across personal, cultural, and disciplinary boundaries. Co-founded by dramaturg Jess Applebaum and director/scenographer Nic Benacerraf, EE’s process is deeply rooted in the edge-blurring practices of devised theater. Each project unites a polydisciplinary community to study a transcendent issue of our time, who then creates original multimedia performances for new communities to deepen the investigation.
*This project is made possible in part with funds from Creative Engagement, a regrant program funded by DCLA, NYSCA, and the Howard Gilman Foundation, and administered by LMCC.
