The newest Wooster Group work, EARLY SHAKER SPIRITUALS is a performance based on a 1976 LP of Shaker hymns, marches, anthems, and testimony recorded by Sister R. Mildred Barker and the sisters of the Shaker community in Sabbathday Lake, Maine. All tickets are $25 and will be available starting April 9 at thewoostergroup.org or by phone at 212.966.3651 (Monday-Friday, 10:00 am–6:00 pm). Critics are welcome starting May 22. The production will officially open on May 29. EARLY SHAKER SPIRITUALS features performances of all twenty tracks from side A of the album sung by Cynthia Hedstrom, Elizabeth LeCompte, Frances McDormand, and Suzzy Roche. The performers channel the voices of the Shaker singers to give a new live rendering of the songs. Complementing the songs are dances created by the Group. They are composed of simple patterns inspired by the surviving fragments of the ecstatic dance that characterized the Shakers’ worship services. For the dances, the singers are joined by Matthew Brown, Modesto Jimenez, Bobby McElver, Bebe Miller, and Andrew Schneider. EARLY SHAKER SPIRITUALS returns to an artistic practice that the Group has used throughout its history: working with record albums as source material for original productions, among them HULA (1981) and L.S.D. (…JUST THE HIGH POINTS…) (1984). The piece also expresses the Group’s long-standing interest in the Shakers, a millenarian, celibate, communitarian sect. In 1980, Elizabeth LeCompte, Kate Valk, and other members of the company visited the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community and met with Sister R. Mildred Barker. Around that time, the company first began listening to the record album that forms the basis for this new piece. Valk says, "This record has been in The Wooster Group’s collection for over 30 years and has a deep personal connection for Elizabeth LeCompte and me. As the female elders of the Group, we’ve found an apt metaphor in the Sisters of the Sabbathday Lake community. And we have the perfect women joining us to sing their songs: Suzzy Roche, Frances McDormand and Cynthia Hedstrom." In addition to the performers, the full EARLY SHAKER SPIRITUALS ensemble includes Max Bernstein (sound), Enver Chakartash (costumes), Jim Clayburgh (set), Bill Kennedy (technical director), Elizabeth LeCompte (set), Bobby McElver (sound), Jamie Poskin (assistant director), Emily Rea (production manager), Ryan Seelig (lighting), Christine Stevenson (costumes), Jennifer Tipton (lighting) and Kate Valk (director). The Wooster Group Founded in 1975, The Wooster Group has made more than 30 works for theater, dance, film, and video under the direction of Elizabeth LeCompte. These works include RUMSTICK ROAD (1977), L.S.D. (…JUST THE HIGH POINTS…) (1984), FRANK DELL’S THE TEMPTATION OF ST. ANTONY (1988), BRACE UP! (1991), THE EMPEROR JONES (1993), HOUSE/LIGHTS (1999), TO YOU, THE BIRDIE! (Phèdre) (2002), HAMLET (2007), THERE IS STILL TIME. .BROTHER (2007), LA DIDONE (2009), VIEUX CARRÉ (2011), and CRY, TROJANS! (Troilus & Cressida) (2014). Historical and contemporary arts exert a strong influence on the Group’s work, and dance, video, music, and architecture are all important organizing principles. Based at The Performing Garage at 33 Wooster Street in lower Manhattan, the company regularly tours worldwide, including North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Australia. The Performing Garage is part of the Grand Street Artists Co-op, a 1960s project of the Fluxus art movement.

  • NAYATT SCHOOL REDUX (Since I Can Remember)
    THE WOOSTER GROUP NAYATT SCHOOL REDUX (Since I Can Remember) DIRECTOR’S NOTE Our work on this piece began when filmmaker Ken Kobland and I set out to make an archival video reconstruction of The Wooster Group’s 1978 piece Nayatt School. Nayatt School featured Spalding Gray’s first experiments with the monologue form and included scenes from T.S. Eliot’s play The Cocktail Party. Nayatt School was the third part of a trilogy of pieces that I directed that were made around Spalding’s autobiography: his family history, his life in the theater, and his mother’s suicide. As Ken and I worked with the Nayatt School materials, we found that the surviving video and audio recordings were too fragmentary, and their original quality too poor, to make a full reconstruction. So I decided to remount Nayatt School with our present company – especially while a few of us, who were there, could still remember. We could at least fill in the gaps for an archival record and, at the same time, demonstrate our process for devising our work. Of course, in reanimating Nayatt School, we have discovered that when it is placed in a new time and context, new possibilities and resonances emerge. I recognize that we are not just making an archival record — we are in the process of making a new piece. That is the work in progress that you are about to see. work-in-progress theatro-film THE PERFORMING GARAGE May 2019 NAYATT SCHOOL REDUX (Since I Can Remember) with Ari Fliakos, Gareth Hobbs, Erin Mullin, Suzzy Roche, Scott Shepherd, Kate Valk, Omar Zubair Composed by the

  • Confrontation, Simulation, Admiration
    Confrontation, Simulation, Admiration The Wooster Group’s Poor Theater Kermit Dunkelberg The punning title of The Wooster Group’s Poor Theater, shown as a work-in- progress in the spring and late fall of at the Performing Garage on Wooster Street in New York, invites many interpretations. Does it suggest the- atre that is: Poorly executed? Poorly funded? To be lamented? All of the above? Is this the Wooster Group’s retort to Grotowski’s “poor theatre” of reduced means and monastic discipline (Grotowski ), or their own version of it? The Wooster Group’s self-mocking, reverent/irreverent, high-tech/low-tech, nostalgic/derisive production questions the state of contemporary performance by trying on the styles of a vanished group (the Polish Laboratory Theatre, dis- solved in ) and a vanishing one (the Ballett Frankfurt, disbanded in August —half a year after Poor Theater had its first showing). My focus in this article is on the sections of Poor Theater that deal with Grotowski’s Polish Laboratory Theatre (–). I see the Wooster Group’s production in light of the history of reception/rejection/appropriation of Grotowski’s work in the United States. In the wake of Grotowski’s first American workshop at New York University in , Richard Schechner founded The Performance Group. In the mid-s, the Wooster Group grew out of The Performance Group, be- coming an independent entity in . Poor Theater is in part a confrontation with an ancestor. In the spring program, “The Director” noted the importance of ancestors: The writers, the great writers of the past, have been very important to me, even if I have struggled against them.

  • Liitoja Interviews Wooster Group's Artistic Director Elizabeth Lecompte
    Interview with The Wooster Group's Artistic Director Elizabeth LeCompte The Wooster Group had its origins in The Performance Group, the ground- breaking “environmental” theatre company founded in 1967 by Richard Schechner, the legendary American experimental theatre director. Elizabeth LeCompte joined the company in 1970 and five years later began to create her own work with Spalding Gray, apart from Schechner’s company yet still in its venue, the Performing Garage, located in the SoHo district of New York City. This former factory on, yes, Wooster Street, still serves as their home base where they develop (and often perform) their work. Perhaps one day someone will write a detailed account of the rift that occurred, leading to the departure of Schechner, and the morphing of his company intoThe Wooster Group in 1980, with LeCompte as its Artistic Director. Since its beginning the ensemble has been in a continual state of flux with members involving themselves in other pursuits only to fluidly rejoin. Simultaneous to these comings and goings has been an equally constant artistic evolution that has produced a considerable body of work: nineteen meticulously crafted pieces for theatre along with eight for film/video and five for dance. Note “pieces”, not plays. The Group does not present “plays” - they serve merely as springboards for some of the most complex, fascinating, bewildering and intellectually challenging work ever seen on stage. While not courting controversy they seem unable to avoid it. Acclaimed for brilliant individual performances as well as technological wizardry, Wooster’s unique creations are seen in festivals around the world.

  • Elizabeth Lecompte in Rehearsal: an Intern’S Perspective
    Praxis: The Journal For Theatre, Performance Studies, and Criticism 2013 Issue Elizabeth LeCompte in Rehearsal: An Intern’s Perspective By Matthew McMahan The date is August 25th, 2009, and after touring their production of Hamlet in Gdańsk, Poland, the Wooster Group resumed rehearsals for Tennessee Williams’s Vieux Carré. I am an intern, sitting quietly in the back of the Performing Garage surrounded by rafters, metallic totems, trusses, wooden platforms (many on wheels), computer screens, microphones, folding chairs, assorted props and costume pieces strewn about the floor. On several of the LCD screens hung around the set, there is a paused clip from the Andy Warhol produced film Flesh – an image of a tan, muscular, and naked Joe Dallesandro. This image remains on the screens for the entirety of rehearsal, unacknowledged by the denizens of the Garage. When LeCompte finally arrives, carrying a few books and a bottle of Australian Malbec, she greets the crew with three pieces to consider. The first is a film clip from Farewell My Concubine, where a Peking opera actor dazzles the audience with meticulous control of his hands and gestures. While the movie is playing, LeCompte mocks the clip and the actor for his facile, unrefined gestures. Scott Shepherd agrees, noting, “I wasn’t all that impressed with the thing he’s doing with his fingers there. That doesn’t excite me.” It was the performer’s lack of precision they found so deterring. The second piece LeCompte shares is Ben Brantley’s review of JoAnne Akalaitis’s production for Shakespeare in the Park, The Bacchae.

  • The RSC & the Wooster Group's Troilus and Cressida
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Kingston University Research Repository Multicultural Shakespeare: Translation, Appropriation and Performance vol. 11 (26), 2014; DOI: 10.2478/mstap-2014-0006 ∗ Aneta Mancewicz Looking Back at the Audience: The RSC & The Wooster Group’s Troilus and Cressida (2012) Abstract: The controversy around the RSC & The Wooster Group’s Troilus and Cressida (Stratford-upon-Avon 2012) among the spectators and critics in Britain revealed significant differences between the UK and the US patterns of staging, spectating, and reviewing Shakespeare. The production has also exposed the gap between mainstream and avant-garde performance practices in terms of artists’ assumptions and audiences’ expectations. Reviews and blog entries written by scholars, critics, practitioners, and anonymous theatre goers were particularly disapproving of The Wooster Group’s experimentation with language, non-psychological acting, the appropriation of Native American customs, and the overall approach to the play and the very process of stage production. These points of criticism have suggested a clear perception of a successful Shakespeare production in the mainstream British theatre: a staging that approaches the text as an autonomous universe guided by realistic rules, psychological principles, and immediate political concerns. If we assume, however, that Troilus and Cressida as a play relies on the dramaturgy of cultural differences and that it consciously reflects on the notion of spectatorship, the production’s transgression of mainstream patterns of staging and spectating brings it surprisingly close to the Shakespearean source. Keywords: William Shakespeare, audience, spectating, British theatre, American theatre, avant-garde, RSC, The Wooster Group.

  • Wooster Baroque
    Wooster Baroque Branislav Jakovljevic Introduction Urb... The death of theatre, which in the West has been lamented at least since Aristotle, does not come with the passing of great tragic poets, or with religious persecution, or with the advent of new technologies. It comes with the death of death. Or, more precisely, with the death of the dead; that is to say, with the evacuation of the material presence of death from our every- day experience. Theatre not only dies for wont of a living, working, paying audience, but also because it is deprived of the population of the dead, of corpses imperceptibly decomposing under the audience’s feet while the spectacle unfolds in front of their eyes. Such is the stunning proposition that Jean Genet makes in his text “That Strange Word...” The strange word he points to is “urbanism.” It is strange, he claims, because it simultaneously refers to the city, urbs, and to those guardians of the First City who bore the name of Urban. It is urbanists, not religious leaders, who can bring about the extinction of theatre or restore it to its full glory. They can do that, Genet proposes, by placing theatres in close proximity to cemeteries or, at the very least, to crematoria. Theatre needs actual corpses placed before it, TDR: The Drama Review 54:3 (T207) Fall 2010. ©2010 New York University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 87 Downloaded from http://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/DRAM_a_00006 by guest on 26 September 2021 not the discursive traces of the dead.
