Studio members participate in regular group practice, residencies, and workshops, while building toward the development of new original works. Each member creates as a generative artist in his or her own right, with the Studio as a space for extraordinary theatrical ideas. The Studio’s work is characterized by:

• Physicality: The body’s presence, attention, and exhaustion are treated as concrete values to be investigated, sharpened, and employed as a means of studying the interior states which the body’s movement expresses and informs.
  

• Improvisation: Heightened states of listening, spontaneity, and play serve as a vehicle to achieving the moment of dramatic encounter – when emergent poetic value manifests, freed from constraints imposed by logic, narrative, or style.
  

• Abstraction: We regard the actor as an artist of time and space, whose essential task is not to interpret text or represent a character, but to inhabit and instrumentalize the same fundamentally liminal space as that occupied by the traditional Greek chorus.

Studio Child is the resident acting studio of the arts non-profit, Arthouse2B, and hosts its working sessions and public viewings out of St. Paul’s Church in Cobble Hill, Brooklyn.
