Master Class: Placemaking with ANU (Spring 2019)
Wednesday, February 27, 2019 at 7:00PM

244 Rehearsal Studios
244 West 54th Street
New York, NY 10019
(Between Broadway and 8th Ave) on the 11th floor in the Kirov Recital Hall


Theatre-makers, performers and directors are invited to join a fearless and vibrant masterclass on “placemaking” led by Co-Artistic Directors of Anu Productions, theatre-maker Louise Lowe and visual artist Owen Boss. The focus of the workshop will be on using collaboration to uncover new ways of engaging with the city and its stories.

The central question Anu Productions ask of their audiences is ‘How do you choose to engage?' They ask audiences to witness, feel, comply or act. By creating conditions by which audience and performer collaboratively engage in a shared kinesthetic state, they ultimately aim to produce sensory rich experiences where years of history can fold, clash, interact, contradict and tell its own story in its own way.

Much of their work is derived from physical space and site, usually working within geographic or historical contexts. They place these findings in non-traditional sites and use immersive engagement to create shared intimacies between audience and place and audience and performer.
