Off Center Festival - The Car Plays
January 14-January 21, 2012
Comment on Facebook
Segerstrom Center for the Arts introduces a bold new project with its first Off Center Festival, a dizzying mix of contemporary theater, music, dance and performance art taking place throughout the campus over nine days January 13 - 21. Every company and performer will be appearing at the Center for the first time.
Moving Arts’ The Car Plays, conceived by Paul Stein, is an environmental theater event. Fifteen short plays are simultaneously performed inside parked cars. Audiences of two move from vehicle to vehicle, experiencing works by different playwrights in an intimate setting all too familiar to Southern Californians – the inside of a car. For Stein, who lives in Los Angeles, his car was a haven of solitary moments of reflection, long talks with friends, an occasional breakup or two and much more. Drawing on those memories, Stein collaborated with playwrights to create an experience that engages audience members in a new “performance model” of voyeuristic intimacy due to proximity.
Audiences will experience five plays in one hour, as “car hops” usher patrons from car to car. There are three different tracks of five plays each. Each play lasts approximately nine minutes. For the Off Center Festival, South Coast Repertory is facilitating the commissioning of new pieces.
