Joshua William Gelb & Katie Rose McLaughlin / Theater in Quarantine
“Virtuosic” and “The closet has produced some of the new medium’s most imaginative work.”
“Theater in Quarantine “makes confinement a virtue, a prompt to imagination.”
Shortly after the coronavirus pandemic closed all theaters in mid-March, Joshua William Gelb transformed a 2′ x 4′ x 8’ closet inside his East Village apartment into a white-box theater. Along with Katie Rose McLaughlin, they set out to understand how artists can adapt to the digital form without sacrificing the integrity of the live event, as well as navigating how we can continue to responsibly collaborate while social distancing.
Gelb’s work has been presented by Abron’s Art Center, Ars Nova, LMCC Process Space, New Ohio, Joe’s Pub, Polyphone Festival, and Target Margin is an associate artist with Sinking Ship, and teaches Theater Collaboration at Cooper Union. McLaughlin is the Associate Choreographer of Hadestown on Broadway, has been an artist-in-residence LMCC’s Process Space, Dance Lab New York, Kaatsbaan International Dance Center and her work has been presented by The Chocolate Factory, the Invisible Dog Art Center, HERE Arts Center, newMoves Contemporary Dance Festival, and the International Festival of Art & Ideas.
