Torn Space Theater offers both original work in collaboration with local actors, composers, sculptors, video artists and designers. Torn Space artistic director Dan Shanahan and associate director Melissa Meola introduced the RESPONSE Festival in 2016 as a source of internationally acclaimed contemporary performance in Western New York. A wine and hors d’oeuvres reception set the stage for this meditative journey. This nautical journey was a quest to gather the healing properties used within the Stations. On Friday, August 10 at 7:00 p.m., there is a pre-show VIP experience that features a serene boat ride on the canal surrounding the scenic grain silos, accompanied by an original soundtrack composed by Torn Space sound designers. STATIONS will also feature work by NYC-based sound designer Avi Amon, and gong percussionist Liz Holland, among others. Torn Space continues to bring in top contemporary artists from around the world to collaborate and share their work with the Western New York audience. More information about Olivier Pasquet and his ongoing work can be found at his website. The piece will feature a collaboration with Berlin-based lighting designer Olivier Pasquet, an internationally active lighting, sound and projection-mapping artist whose work has appeared at the Centre Pompidou, Hong Kong HSBC Center, and the Theatre National de Reims. Collaborating with local and international artists, technicians, and performers, STATIONS will swathe audiences in sound, light, and projection design to create a visceral and otherworldly experience. Torn Space Theater returns to the scenic setting of Buffalo’s Silo City, this year exploring a whole new section of the industrial complex.
