I know this show has a lot more than the video design to offer, but so far the video aspect is all I've gotten to see.  It's a lush abstract immersive video that plays to the theatrical non cinematic.  In other words worth seeing.

It's nothing short of amazing the amount and variety of video surfaces and environments that can be packed into a small blackbox like HERE.

" An epic journey is just a hair’s breadth from coming to a close! "

PRECIOUS CARGO…

Jim Findlay’s set is a
tour-de-force of moving parts. Together with Peter Norrman and Mirit
Tal’s video and Mallory Catlett’s staging, it is mesmerizing. But it is
big! It contains singing sculptures! And tube-driven oscillators! (All
part of Christina Campanella’s haunting score.) To get to Noorderzon,
it was packed into a 10’ x 20’ container and shipped from the port of
New York to Rotterdam. From there, it traveled north by truck, to the
Romeo Tent in the Noorderplantsoen park in Groningen, where the piece sang. Now we need to get it safely into storage, ready to go back out into the world again…

Times are tough, but it's time to help each other with cents and dollars because it's likely to be you asking next month.

Though I bet down to see a show there much more rarely than I would like, I'm always glad to see a NY theatre surviving if only for a little longer.

I was going to school at Purchase College and working on various "traditional theatre" pieces up on theatre row in 1994 when I took an internship with Robert Lyons at the Ohio theatre. I learned a little something about how to manage a theatre, but mostly I saw what moving, shaking, dealing, and luck it takes to keep a small theatre going in NY, and more excitingly I got introduced to the NY theatre scene which really interested me artistically much more than what I was getting at school or in the uptown theatre scene.
And based on what Robert saw in me he sent me over 3 blocks to HERE arts center to meet the folks at Gertrude Stein Rep. which seemed like home, and morphed over the next 15 years into Digital Performance Institute, where you still find me.
