Co-imagined by Ensemble Dal Niente and The Boxcar at Steep Theatre, Open Structures is an improvisational collaboration bringing together ten artists from many disciplines to create a shared language of sound, movement, and space. Guided by director Kristen Johnson, this year-long experiment-in-progress that melds the disciplines of new music, devised theatre, and artistic improvisation will be open to audiences on three dates in 2020 at The Boxcar. Each evening will include different improvised performances by trios and quartets from the interdisciplinary ensemble, and audiences can expect intimate, engaging experiences in which they witness the creative process in real time.

Tickets andinformation can be found at The Boxcar at Steep Theatre or Ensemble Dal Niente
