Audience Members Get Their Chance to be a Part of the Show

Attack Theatre announces the return of Some Assembly Required. The show merges dance, live music, artwork, and conversation to produce a collaborative experience that allows the audience to participate in the creative process.

The show begins with a short performance accompanied by live music. After viewing the piece, the audience embarks on a guided discussion led by the performers in which audience comments are translated into music and movement. The performers then add those components into a new version of the piece, resulting in a visual celebration of spontaneity and the artist/audience relationship.

Each show will offer a different experience as new audience members engage with the performers for the first time. The show will feature musical performances by Simon Cummings of Cello Fury and dance by Isabella Bergamin, Lydia Clinton, Miranda Nichols, and Sarah Zielinski from Attack Theatre.
