Appointment
"...dry, subversive wit." Charles Isherwood, The New York Times, Open House
Appointment is a series of repeatable 12-15 minute performance works staged in small offices for one or two performers and two viewers at a time. Landsman will develop Appointment over the next two to three years in multiple locations, through collaborations with theater and dance companies, individual artists, and students at live art training programs; the next installment takes place all over Oslo, Norway in March 2010. Eventually, Landsman hopes to coordinate all these Appointments via a website, from which anyone with a bright idea can download instructions and create his or her own appointment.
