Critical Mass Performance Group<\/a>, a Los Angeles theater ensemble, is developing a performance piece while in residence through June 6 with PlayMakers Repertory Company at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.<\/p>\n

Led by 2014 Doris Duke Artist Nancy Keystone, the company\u2019s artistic director, Critical Mass comes to PlayMakers as part of an annual residency program providing support for the company\u2019s creative research and development with access to PlayMakers\u2019 professional staff, production shops, rehearsal halls, performance spaces and the intellectual resources of UNC.<\/p>\n

They are working on a new project exploring the idea of surveillance \u2014 collaborating with scholars, experts in technology, surveillance culture, constitutional law and religion, and PlayMakers\u2019 creative artists. The project will combine live feed video, music and performance in the unique vocabulary that has made Critical Mass one of the most celebrated ensembles in the country.<\/p>\n

The group will present a showing of the work created during their two-week residency at 7:30 p.m. on June 6 at the Frey Rehearsal Hall in the Center for Dramatic Art on Country Club Road. The event is free, however space is extremely limited. Seats may be reserved by calling the PlayMakers Box Office at (919) 962-7529.<\/p>\n

Critical Mass is the latest participant in the PlayMakers residency program, now in its fifth year, which is supported by a $250,000 grant from The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Previous participants have been Austin\u2019s Rude Mechanicals, Philadelphia\u2019s Pig Iron Theatre Company and New York\u2019s SITI Company and The TEAM.<\/p>\n
