Architecting is an exhilarating and wickedly funny saga that weaves through past and future to create a requiem for modern America. Gone With the Wind spills into a post-Katrina watering hole, as lives, eras and blueprints overlap horses in this musical, time-bending, multi-media epic rockets between reconstructions, real and imagined, of citizens and nations. Winner of three Fringe First Awards (2005, 2006, 2008), The TEAM is a New York based theatre company dedicated to dissecting and celebrating the experience of living in America today. The TEAM has been presented at Performance Space 122, The Walker, and BAC in London. Co-Production with National Theater of Scotland. Architecting was created with support from the National Theater of Scotland Workshop, the Greenwall Foundation, the Panta Rhea Foundation, the Battersea Arts Centre in London, and the Orchard Project. The U.S. premiere is a co-presentation by Performance Space 122 and Under The Radar. Architecting was developed at the BAC (May 2007), the 2007 CUNY Prelude Festival (Sept 2007), 3LD Art & Technology Center, New York (May 2008), the Orchard Project (June 2008). Architecting (Part One) made its world premiere at the 2008 Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
