They Might Be Napping Press Release
The New Yorker, Dance Calendar, May 2008
NICOLL + ORECK
Jessica Nicoll and Barry Oreck, veterans of physicalized black comedy, team up with the improvisational actors Laura Livingston and Mike Durkin
for a bit of we-couldn't-make-this-stuff-up social
commentary called "They Might Be Napping." The
subject is recent man-made calamity--global warming, Wall Street fraud. The suggestion is that we
must have been asleep at the 'wheel. Rolling stools
facilitate some of the somnambulism, and Amir
Khosrowpour provides the music to move (and
snooze) to. (The Performance Project @ University
Settlement, 184 Eldridge St. 212-453-4532. May
5-6 at 7:30 and May 7 at 3 and 7:30.)
