Mabou Mines is an artist-driven experimental theater collective generating original works and re-imagined adaptations of classics. Work is created through multi-disciplinary, technologically inventive collaborations among its members and a wide world of contemporary filmmakers, composers, writers, musicians, choreographers, puppeteers and visual artists. Mabou Mines fosters the next generation of artists through mentorship and residencies such as the long-standing Resident Artist Program for emerging artists, and SUITE/Space for diverse artists from under-represented communities.
While Mabou Mines 2019/20 season was dramatically changed in response to the pandemic, the work that was accomplished prior to March 2020 garnered 2 Obie Awards and The Companys first sold-out, NYTimes Critics Pick in the new building. Throughout fall 2019, David Neumann and Marcella Murrays Distances Smaller Than This Are Not Confirmed received two development workshops and a public showing, in preparation for a January 2020 premiere at The Playhouse at New Yorks Abrons Arts Center on the Lower East Side. Mabou Mines served as Associate Producer on this new work of multimedia performance that explored and unpacked the co-creators ongoing dialogue about race, alongside astronomical questions of time and scale on our weary planet. David Neumann and Marcella Murray received a Special Obie Citation for Creation and Performance. In March 2020, Mabou Mines and Weathervane Productions, in association with Philip Glass The Days and Nights Festival, presented a unique celebration of legendary playwright and director Mara Irene Forns, directed by JoAnne Akalaitis. Featuring the New York premiere of Philip Glass transformation of her five-page play Drowning into an opera and a version of Forns acclaimed Mud, the production was a sold-out NYTImes Critics Pick and garnered Akalaitis an Obie Award for Direction.Mabou Mines SUITE/Space Program for four performing artists of color began as planned in July 2019, with performances scheduled for June 12 20, 2020. The program was curtailed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic when Mabou Mines closed its doors on March 12 due to government ordered pause. One of the artists, Sim Yan Ying, was able to present a zoom workshop performance on Tuesday May 5. We began to plan to adapt all of the SUITE artist projects for online showings in fall 2020. Also, May/June 2020 performances of The Vicksburg Project by Karen Kandel and composer Eve Beglarian, directed by Mallory Catlett were canceled due to the pandemic. Prior to the cancellation, the collaborators worked on the development of the project throughout 2019/2020 season with a workshop showing in December 2019 in Vicksburg MS.
