The Dance and the Dawn is a piece of interactive literature: a play without a script or an audience. Thirteen players will take on the roles of nobles in a gothic fairy-tale realm, convened for a great ritual dance, who have one night to find love and redemption. Their choices and their acting will determine the shape of the story that unfolds. The event lasts about four hours, which will be taken up with dancing and dueling and courtly intrigue - and, of course, with the eternal hope of romance and joy.

Money Lab is an economic vaudeville, a multi-disciplinary experiment to discover whether economic ideas can be represented through performance. It uses a mixture of theater, dance, video, music, clowning and games in order to explore everything from the darker predictions of Malthus, to the 2008 stock market collapse, to the economic cost of being an artist. Developed with the help of a crew of artists and economists, this project will culminate with a four-day performance workshop at The Brick Theater in Brooklyn.
