to Jun 28

CONCRETE - Immersive Theatre Intensive

Housed on the campus of Montclair State University, CONCRETE is a three-week intensive that explores the hyphenated genre of dance-physical theatre and how these techniques function inside kinesthetic awareness in immersive theatre settings. This proximity research recognizes and interrogates the cultural biases housed inside of nearness and the relationship between spectator and performer. 

This three-week intensive facilitates career development and connects professional and pre-professional dance artists to current directors and makers inside the US and international physical and immersive theatre scenes.

Transformative, rigorous, and challenging, CONCRETE is meant for professionals and college students 18 years and older. It includes exposure to clowning, partnering, ensemble-devising, voice in movement, material/prop approaches, performer perception in physical space, and interrogating the cultural biases housed inside proximity-based performance. The culmination of the three weeks will apex with a fully immersive production that ensures a ten to twenty performer/spectator ratio.  Tuition includes tickets to see two theatrical experiences from Emursive Productions.

NeueHouse KOLONIAL Screening

Film screening of “KOLONIAL” and discussion with the Director/Choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland and Cinematographer/Director Jean-Claude Dhien, moderated by Paul Sigh (Baryshinokov Arts Center Associate Presenter).


Produced by Mikhail Baryshnikov, the dance-cinema film KOLONIAL unites choreographer Stefanie Batten Bland , artist Conrad Quesen, Costume designer Shane Ballard, make-up artist Damian Monzillo, composer Grant Cutler, and Photographer Jean Claude Dhien together in a COVID futuristic installation. This collaboration stirs the many emotions of isolation, entrapment, extreme loneliness, desire to touch, to reach out, to escape, to be free of bonds that restrict life. The film compares the bondage of colonialism with the imposed bonds of the pandemic.
