Mission statement

For over twenty-five years, The Wooster Group has

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

cultivated new forms and techniques of theatrical expression

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

reflective of and responsive to our evolving culture,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

while sustaining a consistent ensemble and maintaining

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

a flexible repertory. Wooster Group theatre pieces

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

are constructed as assemblages of juxtaposed elements:

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

radical staging of both modern and classic texts,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

found materials, films and videos,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

dance and movement, multi-track scoring,

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

and an architectonic approach to theatre design.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

The Wooster Group has played a pivotal role in

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

bringing technologically sophisticated and evocative uses of sound, film and video into the realm of contemporary theatre, and in the process has influenced a generation of theatre artists nationally and internationally. The Group's work is unique because it attracts not only the theatre-going community but also artists and enthusiasts of many other cultural disciplines, such as dance, painting, music,

video and film.
