Talya Epstein and James McGinn
SHOWGAME
Conceived and directed by Talya Epstein in collaboration with Halee Beucler, Cherie Burnett, and Maggie Jones
Audience members are instructed to count aloud as the performers engage in aggressive physical force games. This audience engagement makes the performers hyper-dependent on the audience, while creating confusion as to who exactly is in control of the unfolding events.

Music by Earth, Wind & Fire, Spandau Ballet, Rick Astley
JANITORS OF LUNACY
Choreographed & Performed by James McGinn & John Jasperse
