Oh, and One More Thing
Becky Sellinger
7:30 PM
In Becky Sellinger’s amorphous game of chess, she takes on a new directorial role. In Oh, and One More Thing, seats are sprawled around the room. The audience are floating islands, phantom even, for the performers to travel between and interact with. This structured improvisation brings together several collaborators, Booker Stardrum, Pearse Redmond, Egbert Vongmalaithong and text by Ariel Yelen in an immersive environment stewing in the ghostly aura of Samuel Beckett, The Savoy Ballroom, and René Magritte.
Container No. 2
Zachary Fabri
8:30 PM
Container No. 2 is a performance by Zachary Fabri that engages with the architecture of Skowhegan NYC. The piece is structured and informed by the built environment of Skowhegan NYC’s storefront, in which program, research, and office areas exist in close proximity. By inviting the audience to follow the action of the performance as it moves fluidly between the ground floor and the lower level, the work complicates the static relationship between performer and audience.
