Join groundbreaking International Voice intensives in Argentina, where internationally acclaimed teaching artists explore the moving body, voice and text as inseparable and fundamental to the performance of spoken language. Drawing on a diverse range of pedagogical lineages — from Shakespearean verse to clown, from somatic movement to resonant breath — this workshop offers a rare opportunity to study with a consortium of leading practitioners from Canada, the U.S., and Argentina.
August 16, 2025 - 7:00 pm - InterArts Performance Development Showing of The Lunatic Project
Middlebrook Arts Research + Residency Center.
THANK YOU to all who joined us as Choreographer/Writer/Performer Gerry Trentham and Sculptor Kaersten Colvin-Woodruff begin their investigation into a new bi-continental inter-arts solo performance, The Lunatic, through a public development performance following their week-long residency at MAR+RC.
As a seminal project in Trentham’s fifth decade as a queer performer and artist, The Lunatic draws inspiration from the third and final stage of life described by Jungian psychologist and art critic Graham Jackson as the evolution of the “youthful golden messenger” into the “lunatic” whose air-like invisibility is difficult to hear or see.
This initial research and first showing is made possible by New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature. Catskills producing support by Kaats Cradle, a branch of The Party Theater programming, US/Lbs International Artistic Producer Marisa Caruso, and Teresa Fellion, Artistic Director of BodyStories and Middlebrook Arts Research and Residency Center.
The New Fulcrum Project (NFP) 2025/2026
The New Fulcrum Project, or NFP, is a research project aimed at examining how solo-driven artists/art companies can create networks of connection that can be sustained through the creation of artistic work. As part of the lbs/sq" 30th Anniversary Season, the audience engagement event was a tangible practice of cooperation encouraging co-conscious collaboration determined based on the cohort’s research findings- a creative experiment utilizing the cohort’s shared values and unique visions.
This research is generously supported by the Metcalf Foundation.
With Producer/Lead Researcher Shivani Joshi and Assistant Producer/Researcher Clarke Blair under the guiding energy of our Artistic Director Gerry Trentham.
Thank you for joining the artists June 19, 2025, Summer Solstice Weekend - when light lingers, as they introduced their work as part of the New Fulcrum Project with Natasha Ama Eck, Lucy Rupert, Mutya Macatumpag, Cat Montgomery, Trevor Copp, Tiffany Thomas, Miriam Cummings,
