Concrete Immersive Theatre Intensive invites professional artists and pre-professional college students ages 18 and older to join us for our annual summer intensive, diving into immersive theatre making in the heart of NYC.
Where: La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club, New York, USA
When: June 8-20, 2026
Deadline for applications: Rolling applications
CONCRETE is an annual summer intensive in the heart of New York City, in partnership with the La MaMa Theatre, the home of the legendary experimental theatre maker and supporter Ellen Stewart. This intensive explores the hyphenated genre of dance-physical theatre and how these techniques function inside kinesthetic awareness in immersive theatre settings. This proximity research recognizes and interrogates the cultural biases housed inside of nearness and the relationship between spectator and performer.
This modular intensive facilitates career development and connects professional and pre-professional dance artists to current directors and makers inside the US and international physical and immersive theatre scenes.
Transformative, rigorous, and challenging, CONCRETE is meant for professionals and college students 18 years and older. It includes exposure to clowning, partnering, ensemble-devising, voice in movement, material/prop approaches, performer perception in physical space, and interrogating the cultural biases housed inside proximity-based performance.
The culmination of each of each week will apex with a fully immersive production that ensures a ten to twenty performer/spectator ratio.
