about

EGG ENSEMBLE

The Egg Ensemble seeks to redefine performance narratives by blurring the boundaries between discipline and expanding the limitations of genre. We seek to create work that enables each of us to expand within and beyond our respective disciplines and is unified by the commonalities between our disciplines.

The Egg Ensemble springs from the creation of its seminal work Eleven Ideas About People and Stuff. Key collaborators have focused on Eleven as a model for future collaborations and commissions. In 2005 the ensemble performed a 10-minute work-in-progress preview of Eleven under the title Dali’s Egg at the Barnsdall Art Park Theater in Hollywood to outstandingly positive response. In 2006 a cinematic reduction of this first performance screened at film festivals in San Francisco, Las Vegas and Helsinki, while a film-reduction of the ensemble’s second effort, Lost and Found (scene 2 of Eleven) previewed at Indiana University’s Perform.Media Festival. In 2008 the Egg Ensemble premieres its first commission, providing visuals for New Orleans Lowdown, a ballet composed by Meredith Monk’s keyboardist, Stephen Lockwood, set to the choreography of Nanette Brodie. Meanwhile, intensive development of the full 300-minute Eleven continuous full-force. Future projects include a sequel to Eleven, a project composed by Chase and Haroun entitled 22, first explored by the Long Beach Opera in 2003.
