Site-specific performance has become prevalent and increasingly inventive over the past several years, and has influenced the work of numerous choreographers and theatre practitioners. In the U.S. and Europe, artists and companies are increasingly creating pieces in non-conventional theatre spaces in the streets, architectural landmarks, public transportation, abandoned warehouses and pools, underground tunnels, and empty garages, confronting the public and mixing highly choreographed dance and rehearsed scenes with the spontaneities and idiosyncrasies of the city.

Theatre and Film Ibsen Plays on Screen – Film Series and Panel Discussion
Segal TheaterHenrik Ibsen (1828 – 1906) is one of the greatest and most influential dramatists of all times. Bjorn Hemmer, Professor of Theatre at the University of Oslo, writes of Ibsen: “More than anyone, he gave theatrical art a new vitality by bringing into European bourgeois drama an ethical gravity, a psychological depth, and a social significance which the theatre had lacked since the days of Shakespeare.
An Evening with Danish Playwright Christian Lollike
Segal TheaterMeet Christian Lollike, a representative of a new generation of playwrights from Denmark and join us for a reading of his controversial play The Work of Wonders about the outrageous statement made by German composer Karl-Heinz Stockhausen that the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center was the ultimate work of art.

Languages at Play in the Theatre – The Tropic of X
Segal TheaterThe evening will explore the political, social, and historical implications of staged language. Reading of excerpts from Caridad Svich’s The Tropic of X will be followed by a dialogue between Marvin Carlson and Caridad Svich examining how language has been employed in the theatre. The use of multiple languages in contemporary theatre is in part a reflection of a globalized culture, but it also calls attention to how the mixing of language has always been an important part of the functioning of theatre. Reading directed by Daniel Banks.
