Description

EAI hosted a special evening devoted to the New York-based experimental theater and media ensemble The Wooster Group. For over thirty years, this company of artists has explored the interplay between media and live performance, transgressing traditions of theater and dance on stage while also experimenting with single-channel video and media installations. A screening of selections from the group's theatrical productions and videos -- many of them rarely seen -- was followed by a conversation between Wooster Group director and co-founder Elizabth LeCompte and Hilton Als, Theater Critic for The New Yorker.
