Theatre
Movement Bazaar is a company dedicated to creating original
performance works. We merge elements of movement, sound, text, and design, from
diverse sources into a complex performance. We investigate these elements, modifying
or neutralizing them, de-contextualizing them from their sources. Liberated
from their contexts, our elements are free to be structured in new and surprising
ways, creating a connotative network of echoed and reverberant meanings. In
this multifarious approach, we strive to reinvigorate theatre for a contemporary
audience.
TMB began in New York City as a collaboration between choreographer/director/performer
Tina Kronis, and mechanical engineer/writer, Richard Alger. In 1999, the company
relocated its base to Los Angeles, became a non-profit 501c(3) corporation,
and has produced eleven original works, garnering critical attention, presenting
its work across the US and in the UK.
