>>THE JUDSON HOUSE PROJECT
>>A Performance Celebration of the History and Legacy of Judson House
>>Before the Wrecking Ball Strikes!
>>Four Days Only! Thursday, July 27 - Sunday, July 30!
>>
>>Peculiar Works Project presents THE JUDSON HOUSE PROJECT, a site-specific
>>celebration of the history and legacy of Judson House, for four days only,
>>Thursday, July 27 - Sunday, July 30. There are seven performance tours per
>>night, beginning every half-hour, from 7PM - 10PM. Tickets are $15. On
>>Saturday and Sunday from 4PM - 6PM, there will be an Installation Open
>>House,
>>for a suggested donation. Reservations are required for the tours and can
>>be
>>made by calling (212) 529-3626, ext. 44. Judson House is located at 237
>>Thompson Street (at the corner of West 3rd Street).
>>
>>Throughout its history, Judson Church has been a breeding ground for
>>social
>>and cultural action. Since the turn of the 19th Century, they have
>>sponsored
>>a number of health and social service organizations, many of which have
>>been
>>based in Judson House. In the late 1950s, Judson House expanded its
>>community
>>services to include providing a home for experimental artists of all
>>disciplines. The first site of the NYC "Happenings" in the ‘60s, its
>>ground-breaking Judson Gallery, Dance Theatre and Poet's Theatre were an
>>integral part of the early Off-off Broadway, contemporary dance, and
>>performance art movements. Such avant-garde legends as Claes Oldenburg,
>>Yoko
>>Ono, Carolee Schneemann, Yvonne Ranier, Robert Rauschenberg, and Maria
>>Irene
>>Fornes worked or lived at Judson House. In 1999, Judson Memorial Church
>>made
>>the difficult decision to sell this historic house to New York University.
>>The building is scheduled for demolition in August.
>>
>>Peculiar Works Project, the brainchild behind BIG ART in small places, is
>>honoring this legendary mecca for avant-artists with THE JUDSON HOUSE
>>PROJECT, a multi-disciplinary art and performance event. Consisting of
>>eleven
>>performance and installation works in different spaces throughout Judson
>>House, the audience is taken on a guided tour throughout the performances.
>>Commissioning new artists from the fields of theatre, dance, performance
>>and
>>installation art, THE JUDSON HOUSE PROJECT creates contemporary responses
>>to
>>the heritage of Judson and the ground-breaking work that took place there.
>>
>>The artists who are headlining this one-time-only event are: Laurel Jay
>>Carpenter; Yanira Castro; Soliton (Chris Burney, Fran Kirmser, Michael
>>Paller); Nancy S. Chu; S.M. Dale; Steven Dean; Diane Dwyer; Funkopolis
>>(Tim
>>Brown, Shannon Maddox, Gabriel Shanks); and Renee Philippi.
>>
>>Peculiar Works Project, now in its eighth season, generates original
>>performance that is accessible and fun for a diverse audience. Challenging
>>the conventions of medium, structure and process in an alternative theatre
>>context, Peculiar Works Project encourages collaboration, experimentation
>>and
>>a rebel spirit in emerging artists by providing them with the tools and
>>opportunities necessary to grow throughout the creative process.
>>Performing
>>in non-traditional spaces, they have taken their work directly into NYC
>>communities by presenting site-specific productions in landmark buildings,
>>gutted storefronts and other peculiar sites in the Village, Soho, TriBeCa,
>>the Lower East Side and, most recently, cyber-space.
>>
>>THE JUDSON HOUSE PROJECT is funded, in part, with public funds from the
>>New
>>York State Council on the Arts, and with generous private support from The
>>Peg Santvoord Foundation, the Foundation for Contemporary Performance
>>Arts,
>>The Village Voice and Poland Spring.
