The Archive Residency, a collaboration between New Ohio Theatre and IRT Theater (likeminded neighbors in the historic Archive Building in the West Village), is a unique incubator for New York City's most promising emerging independent theater companies. Now in its third year, the two year residency offers each company that most elusive and invaluable resource, an artistic home, including space, artistic support, and institutional continuity for the development and presentation of a new work, culminating in an exciting world premiere.
The two companies completing their residencies this spring are: The Assembly, presenting the world premiere of I Will Look Forward to This Later, with text by Kate Benson and Emily Louise Perkins, directed by Jess Chayes, dramaturgy by Stephen Aubrey, and production design by Nick Benacerraf, running April 4 - 23, 2016. Previews begin April 4 for an April 7 opening. Blessed Unrest, presenting the world premiere of Body: Anatomies of Being, conceived and directed by Jessica Burr, written by Matt Opatrny, created and choreographed by the Blessed Unrest ensemble, running April 30 - May 21, 2016. Previews begin April 30 for a May 1 opening. Later in the summer The Archive Residency's two first-year resident companies, Our Voices and Piehole, will be presenting works-in-progress in the 2016 Ice Factory Festival, June 29 - August 13. The Archive Residency will invite two additional companies into residency in September 2016. Shows take place at New Ohio Theatre, located at 154 Christopher Street between Greenwich and Washington Streets in New York City.
