The internationally recognized experimental theater collective The Wooster Group premieres a contemporary, live performance based on original Dada materials. Questions and processes that informed Dada are parallel to interests of The Wooster Group, including experimentation with new technologies, collage techniques, and the deliberate misuse of convention. Directed by Elizabeth LeCompte, the three performances feature core Wooster Group members Kate Valk, Scott Shepherd, and Ari Fliakos with special guests. The Wooster Group's technical design team will contribute to the sound and video elements of the piece, and architects Liz Diller and Ricardo Scofidio will consult on the set design. This performance is held in conjunction with the exhibition Dada, on view through September 11.

Approximate running time is one hour. No fixed seating; the audience is free to move throughout the performance. Priority seating is available for individuals with disabilities and special needs.

Tickets ($35; members $25; students $15) can be purchased at the lobby information desk and the Film and Media desk, or online at www.ticketweb.com.

The Wooster Group performance is made possible, in part, by a gift from The Harold & Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.
