Crash Course Theater
by Harper on 12 January 2010As I type this 24 performers are creating human sculpture based on the lives of 24 new yorkers living downtown. Meanwhile, a man is backstage reviewing his lines before he takes stage at The Public Theater to deliver a one-man show that recounts the Apollo 11 moon landing. Later in the evening, the stage will transform into an ode to the American Dance Legand, Martha Graham, with a multi-media tribute, using materials from her actual choreography, past documentaries and actual notes from her personal journals.
Quite the cultural buffet to say the least. In its 6th year, the Under The Radar Festival has returned and transformed the citie’s theaters into a hotbed of new-found theater from around the world. Going on through January 17th, see the festival’s sites for scheduling, performance synopsis and location information. While its cold outside, why not undergo some cultural stimulus?
