New Original Works Festival 2011 September 8, 2011

Now in its eighth year, this three-week festival launches eight adventurous projects by Los Angeles dance, theater, music and multimedia artists who are pushing the boundaries of creative expression. The artists in this year's Festival are rooted in an impressively wide-range of traditions: alt-country, Persian and electro-acoustic music; dance from African, post-modern, social and theatrical forms; stop-motion animation and silent film; experimental, puppet and object theater. From the roots of these traditions, through collaboration and experimentation, they delve into new and vital directions in live performance. Sharing the REDCAT stage for three daring and distinctive programs over three consecutive weeks, this year's festival features Marissa Chibas, Cindy Derby, Lucky Dragons, Robert Cucuzza, Rosanna Gamson/World Wide, Tandem & Timur and the Dime Museum, Michel Kouakou/Daara Dance and Victoria Marks.
