NaCl Theatre and Bond St. Theatre of New York will engage in an artistic 
exchange with Dah Teatar of Belgrade, Yugoslavia and ArtSpot Productions of 
New Orleans.  The first event will be hosted by La MaMa E.T.C. and the 
public is invited to attend the presentation on Monday, February 7th, at 
7:30 PM.
     On Monday, February 7th  the presentation will commence with Dah Teatar 
who will show The Flame at the Bottom of the Sea, a presentation  by actress 
Maja Mitic who reveals how her working method has evolved over her eight 
years in the company. Following Ms. Miticıs
performance, there will be a short intermission, and then, NaCl will present 
The Passion according to G.H., a solo work performed by actress Tannis 
Kowalchuk, directed by Brad Krumholz, and based on the novel by Brazilian 
writer, Clarice Lispector.
NaCl, Dah, and Bond St. Theatres will meet behind closed doors in the 
morning of the 7th to exchange their working methods and training.  This 
rare encounter will provide these "laboratory" companies with the 
opportunity to meet other groups of practical theatre researchers-- 
companies with the shared aim of investigating, through ongoing practice, 
the craft of theatre.  The evening presentations will offer participants and 
spectators alike an even deeper glimpse of the possibilities contained in 
the realm of theatre.

    "Dah Teatar is a theatrical laboratory founded in June, 1991 in 
Belgrade, Yugoslavia.  It is an independent company concerned with the 
development of a contemporary theatrical language based upon research of the 
actor's skill and the director's exploration of the creative process.  The 
idiom "Theatre Laboratory" reflects concentration on research-based and 
experimental work in search of questions which will help in developing 
artistic and individual personalities."

    NaCl Theatre (North American Cultural Laboratory) is a theatre troupe 
founded in 1997.  Based in New York City, the company of permanent artists 
from Canada and the USA practices a daily performer training, creates 
original theatre performances, teaches, and focuses its efforts in 
maintaining and building a community of like-minded artists and companies 
across North America and beyond.


Please call NaCl at (212) 946-5734 to reserve a space.  Tickets can be 
purchased at the La MaMa box office one half hour before the event.

In June of 1999 NATO warplanes were dropping bombs on the city of Belgrade.  
  Within the city walls the actors of Dah Teatar  were creating and 
performing their latest production, Documents of
Time.  In the U.S. Dah Teatar artistic associate Kathy Randels presented The 
Black Lady Protest (against the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia) in front of the 
White House on April 17 and every Wednesday for three hours in New Orleans 
until the bombing stopped.  Meanwhile, the actors of Bond Street Theatre 
were performing in the Kosovar Refugee camps in Macedonia.   At the time 
neither theatre company knew of the other, yet both are linked by a common 
physical vocabulary and a quest to bring peace and understanding through 
artistic expression.

Please join us for this very unique, one night opportunity of sharing 
histories, experiences, impressions and hopes for the future.
