Presentation and chat with Odyssey Works

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/e/4/6/8/event_218278472.jpegJoin us for a presentation and chat with Abraham Burickson and Ayden Grout of Odyssey Works, an intriguing group that creates extensively researched participatory theatrical performances for an audience of one:

“Imagine waking up to discover yourself immersed in a performance that is all about you. You're the main character in the performance. It lasts all day, surrounding you with extraordinary experiences that take place in your home, at your workplace, and all over the city where you live. The other actors are your friends and family and an eclectic group of artists, most of whom you've never even met. This is Odyssey Works.”

The group was described eloquently by the New York Times:

"The intricate creations that converge in the group members’ weekend-long performances — sound installations, films, performance art and more — exist only for their chosen subject, whom they’ve come to know very well. Then it all vanishes. The idea is a beautiful inefficiency: a tiny but infinitely more affected audience."
