The New Performance Series is a co-production effort for companies and individual artists who are mounting a full production. The residency productions (usually world premieres) form the centerpiece of the Incubator Arts Project’s programming, and each season offers a varied collection of live art. The program is curated by Travis Just, Samara Naeymi, Brendan Regimbal and Shannon Sindelar.
Please note that the call for applications happens on the Incubator website each fall. Please join the mailing list via the footer below for updates. Programming is currently established through June 2012. The New Performance series does not offer development space but does include support from the Incubator staff for various aspects of production.

Express yourself
In this rigorous piece about the dynamics of performance, performer Liz Peterson and director Sean O’Neill explore the limits of media and form. Weaving personal confessions, synchronized video, and a pop sensibility, Express Yourself is a stylized depiction of a performance in progress. The work is framed by a virtuosic performance by Peterson, who navigates the ever-shifting boundaries of the work with disarming vulnerability and charisma. Winner of the 2011 Jury Prize for Risk and Innovation at SummerWorks, Canada’s largest juried theatre festival.

Destructo Snack
Destructo Snack implodes the notion of identity and our predetermined roles as people who lie and who tell the truth to everyone. Theresa Buchheister and Sarah Graalman engage their distinctively dissimilar voices as contemporary playwright and personal essayist to examine the way we treat each other, how we present ourselves, where communication fails, and why it is worthwhile, in the end, to give a fuck.

discover atlantass
Part rock show, part absurd theater, Discover AtlantASS, is an opera in two acts that tells the story of a young teen named Franklin who gets abducted to the undersea world of Atlantis by a laid-back jazz fish revolutionary named Stinge. Together, they are ready to combat a disastrous oil spill which has nearly eradicated the vibrant community of poets, musicians, artists and fornicators who inhabit the undersea paradise.
The trio of Talibam! and Sam Kulik play all the instruments and nearly a dozen characters in this tale of adventure, jazz, sex and revolution. Originally conceived during the horrific Gulf of Mexico oil spill in 2010, the show's humor is balanced by explicit themes of political corruption and environmental disaster. Discover AtlantASS also exists as a CD and 30-page comic book, available at all shows.

feast
Feast is the last meal of an era. The Eaters shove food into their faces while outside their civilization collapses. In a mad rush of fear and desire, we face our humanity as the world is gobbled up bit by bit, word by word.
