LABORATORY THEATER, under the direction of Yvan Greenberg, creates multi-layered works in which original and pre-existing sources are filtered through the personalities and histories of the ensemble and a non-didactic but radically political aesthetic into an organic commingling of intricate sound scores, dances, texts, songs, improvisation, and imitation.

LABORATORY THEATER places primary focus on the presence of the performer and his/her relationship with the audience. The simultaneous incorporation and subversion of the conventions of naturalism, the complex interaction of formal and random structures, and references to current events serve to create a "theater reality" that incorporates life but does not represent it.
