About this Event
Jennifer Krasinski and Andrew Lampert will share aspects of their ongoing research into Richard Foreman. Working together, they have uncovered a plethora of documentation and unstaged material that will be featured in a forthcoming exhibition dedicated to Foreman and his collaborators in the Ontological-Hysteric Theater. They will discuss their process and consider the question of what it means to transmit experience. Foreman's iconoclastic productions are largely irreproducible, and yet they must always be performed anew in order to be seen. What is involved in authentically staging the work of a theater artist who insists that others must not interpret or imitate him when performing his plays? Reception to follow.
Co-moderated by Rye Gentleman and Helen Shaw.
Co-sponsored by the Department of Performance Studies and the Division of Libraries. Presented as part of NYU's "Archives Onstage" series, Richard Foreman Wants You to Wake Up.
