Installation, Performance, Demonstration. A brief presentation in space, time, movement, song, word of the voices of the moment: theoretical, polemical, personal, musings and proclamations. Asks the question, “where are we now?” Proclaims in response an embodied articulation of “where we are now!” Caution: could be political, spiritual, beautiful, ordinary, thoughtful, challenging, heartfelt.

The piece is visual, aural (like good free jazz), kinesthetic, and textual/literary. The collective utilizes a variety of techniques for building ensemble, generating original material (images, text, movement) and creating stage. Mary Overlie’s Six-Viewpoints work is the primary ensemble building and composing technique, and the work is influenced by Boal, Presencing Theater and Moises Kaufmann’s Moment Work Technique. Slice 2.0 is built on self-scripted and found text, psychophysical acting and post-modern dance.
