A Thousand Ways
600 Highwaymen
Since 2009 Michael Silverstone and Abigail Browde, working under the moniker 600 HIGHWAYMEN, have created a body of work that explores the relationship between spectator and performer. Though the processes are varied, each project revolves around the same idea—what occurs in the encounter between people. They operate at an intersection of social practice, civic event, and theater.
A Thousand Ways is a three-part work of theater that was conceived and created to arc across COVID-19 distancing—Part I is a phone conversation, Part II is a socially-distanced encounter and Part III is a public convening once it’s safe to do so. In each part, you are both the actor and the audience. Your words, actions, gestures, silence, thoughts, and willingness are the tools.
With just two people, a telephone, a table, and a stack of cards, a new type of theater emerges—one in which the most intimate assembly can be profoundly radical.
This event is presented by the UCLA's Center for the Art of Performance.
