BIO

Maggie Hoffman founded the avant-punk performance ensemble Radiohole and the artist-run performance space The Collapsable Hole in New York City. In addition to over 25 years of performance with Radiohole, Maggie is a company member of Elevator Repair Service and has appeared in "Ulysses", "Seagull", "Fondly, Collette Richland", "The Sound and The Fury", "Measure for Measure", "The Select", and "Arguendo". She appeared as Madeline Harvey in Richard Foreman's "Suppose Beautiful Madeline Harvey" at La MaMa. Maggie recently produced Christopher-Rashee Stevenson's "Hamlet" and "Exposure: a group show of works exploring the body" at The Collapsable Hole as part of the CUNY Prelude Festival.

"Hoffman has one of downtown's great voices, a lazy, amused timbre that can relax into an almost Mae West-like groan. During Molly’s erotic reverie, she sounds like an instrument encountering the music it was always meant to play. Hoffman performs this scene fully clothed and almost completely hidden behind a desk onstage. For action, she sometimes gives a little wriggle under a crocheted afghan. Yet Molly somehow also seems naked, just because of the way Hoffman shapes her vowels. "Yes I said yes I will Yes," Molly murmurs. And the whole show sinks into her, a fleshy masterpiece pushing at last into flesh." — New York Times, Helen Shaw
