Theater is two meetings.

One meeting takes place between long-term partners. Another takes place in the unpredictable encounter with strangers. Each carries its own mystery and potential for intimacy.

Urban Research Theater is an ongoing partnership for performance research at the borders of song, movement, and action. Our work involves silence and sweat, attention and repetition, patience and revelation. We strive to open spaces for a new relation between art, practice, and city.

Urban Research Theater was awarded the 2008 Rachel Rutherford Excellence in Theater Laboratory Ethics Fellowship. Click here for details.
