Title:Point Productions Presents FIELD 309, 9/23

Title:Point Productions will present FIELD 309, running September 23 - October 2.

Staring with wide, dry eyes into the enticing spiral of the mundane, listening as if at the end of a tunnel, you keep working. Because no one is number 1(!) And someone is watching(?) FIELD 309 is Title:Point's sticky wade through absurdity, haunted by loss, failure, and fear. It is a comedy.

Featuring direction and script by Theresa Buchheister, animations by Michael Senften (www.4dthieves.com), sound by Ryan William Downey (of Equestrian and Chat Logs) and a cast including T. Ryder Smith (performer with Richard Foreman, Sarah Ruhl, Anne Washburn and appeared in EQUUS on Broadway) and Jay Smith (performer with Richard Foreman and Richard Maxwell).

Title:Point is happy to bring FIELD 309 to the stage, after 2 years of development with support from the Mental Insight Foundation and the Puffin Foundation.

Title:Point Productions develops original scripts, inspired by questioning, experience, science, myth, belief... and above all else, curiosity. Title:Point was founded in November, 2006 after the warm reception of the company's first work, Q and Y: A Brief Comedy About Death. Work includes JourneyPath: An Experiment in Rightness and Mythic Figurations: A Power Triptych (Ontological Incubator), a fully-realized workshop of Judith Malina's Antigone under the approval and advisement of The Living Theatre and development of their pre(conception) New Play Series, presenting staged readings of new works. For the past year, Title:Point has been working on Field 309, as well as adaptations of the work of Daniil Kharms and creating work with Jeff Stark, Buran Theatre Company, Under the Table, BE Company, Harrison David Rivers and Amy Virginia Buchanan.

About Incubator Arts Project
The Incubator Arts Project supports independent, experimental performing artists through a series of programs aimed at offering production opportunities and guidance with long-term growth and artistic sustainability. Its programs primarily support world premieres of original work and also include a concert series, work in progress opportunities and artist salons and roundtables.

The Incubator Arts Project grew out of the Incubator, a project of the Ontological-Hysteric Theater. In 2010, the Ontological-Hysteric Theater announced that it would leave its permanent home, St. Mark's Church, and that the Incubator would take over the space and operate year-round.

Beginning in 1993, the Ontological-Hysteric Theater, in addition to its primary support of the work of Richard Foreman, opened its doors to emerging, independent artists. Since 1993 the emerging artists program at the Ontological took many forms, including the Obie-winning Blueprint Series for emerging directors. In 2005, the OHT reorganized the programs under the name INCUBATOR, creating a series of linked programs to provide young theater artists with resources and support to develop process-oriented, original theatrical productions. By 2010, the program had quadrupled in size, involving a range of artists and increased support. The programs included the centerpiece Residency program for premieres, two annual music festivals, a regular concert series, a serial work-in-progress program called Short Form, and roundtables and salons aimed at keeping Incubator artists involved year-round. In May, 2010, the Incubator received an OBIE grant.
