Workshops 1996-2006
A brief overview: Workshops/laboratories
When an independent performance company produces one or two larger-scale productions a year, the rehearsal times usually stretch over several months, and the ensemble brings together its various talents, in dance/theatre performance, music, visual art and media. AlienNation Co.’s core members also have their individual careers and pursue research and development in their crafts. Here are a few workshops that evolved over the 1990s and early 2000s, continued on the next page.
