Presented by Sundance Institute Theatre Lab
In conjunction with Sundance Institute’s vaunted Theatre Lab Program (at MASS MoCA for a two-week residency), we present a staged reading of My Arm by Lab Fellow
Tim Crouch. My Arm is the story of an empty gesture.
It’s the confession of a man who has lived for thirty years
by the courage of his lack of conviction, all the while
becoming a celebrated medical specimen and an icon
of the New York art scene.
Crouch's story is told through a combination of live performance and the animation of everyday objects supplied by
the audience before the performance. Simple, honest, intimate and painfully funny, My Arm is above
all an extraordinary work of solo theatre about modern art,
bloody-mindedness and how the things we do when we’re
ten stick with us for life.
“… Crouch is the most
engaging of performers,
and he is actually
exploring on stage
the nature of art and
performance itself, taking
risks in the process… At
these moments, Crouch
is armed and dangerous.” -The Guardian
Post Show Reception
Come hang out with Tim Crouch and the rest of the Sundance Institute Theatre Lab gang after the performance! The fellows will head to local bar The Mohawk (a North Adams favorite!), located across the street from MASS MoCA's patron parking lot, for an informal gathering following the show.
Spend the weekend with us!
Purchase this package for a night at the beautiful Orchards Hotel in Williamstown, breakfast for 2, and 2 tickets to the performance.
