We invite you to join us to observe an OPEN WORKSHOP featuring improvisation, and work-in-progress stories.

Review of Aging at La Mama by Edward Kliszus
“…actors do not pretend; they are. They acknowledge the audience, inviting them into their world rather than asking them to suspend disbelief. The stage is not a place of illusion but a living space where truth materializes without pretense. In this environment, every movement, every breath, every interaction becomes significant—an authentic exchange between performer and observer.”
“The Artists Behind the Experience

Nancy Gabor, a distinguished director and theater educator, brings decades of experience to the project. A former member of Joseph Chaikin’s Open Theater, she was pivotal in developing experimental works like The Serpent. Her collaborations with luminaries such as Andrei Serban and Sam Shepard have cemented her legacy in avant-garde theater.
‘Paul Binnerts, co-director, and Real-Time Acting theorist, has spent his career exploring performance’s intersection with reality. His European award-winning productions, including Black Box and The Same Sea, reflect his commitment to theater that challenges and engages. His seminal work, Acting in Real Time, is a foundational text for this performance genre.
