THE ARCHIVE PROJECT
Since it’s inception in 1973, TSL has broken the boundaries of conventional theatre, transcending the confines of narrative, and integrating dance, visual art, light design, language and sound. The TSL ensemble performed in traditional and alternative spaces in NYC such as La Mama E.T.C., Merce Cunningham Studio, the Museum of Contemporary Art and Smithsonian’s Cooper Hewitt Design Museum.
As we continue to unearth boxes of scripts, photos, reviews and related ephemera, our challenge is to preserve a quickly dissipating body of work for reference, as well as production of new work. We created the Archive Project to explore the expanding relevance of Linda and Claudia’s work, to illuminate its artistic and sociopolitical significance and to celebrate its historical location in experimental theater.
As we document the history of two women who have lived, worked and collaborated together, we hope to initiate a larger conversation about the significance of women and performance. We seek to engage a range of voices with an interdisciplinary, mutligenerational, multcultural perspective on the challenge of archiving, presenting and contextualizing performance work.
We present The Archive Project not to dwell in the past, but to make accessible a vast resource that can open new doors in performance for students, scholars and the community at large.
