The pop-up collective was founded upon the core values of rigorous shape work, coded aubiography, the mental gestures of musical theater and productive envy. The New York Times has described their previous work as "part of the problem." Mood board: http://twobullsinachinashop.tumblr.com/ BEATRIZ ALBUQUERQUE + DAVID MOSCOVICH AMERICAN B.B.Q. [Body Barbeque Question] By Beatriz Albuquerque and David Moscovich A cookbook of American barbeque is the point of departure for this piece by artist Beatriz Albuquerque and writer David Moscovich. The art of barbeque is explored both visually and sonically, interacting with language, the body, and color. Through a realignment of social cues surrounding the culture of BBQ, this performance explores the cause and effect of gathering in the name of smoked meats. EMILY OLIVEIRA EMILY OLIVEIRA is a Brooklyn-based sculptor, performance artist, costume designer and graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design. Her performance works include 'LAS VOCES', 'Luna! Luna! Luna!', 'I Am One of Them and So Are You', and the upcoming performance and solo exhibition 'Soooo Thick That Everyone Else in the Room is So Uncomfortable' at the Ground Floor Gallery.

How do performance artists use their practices as therapy for themselves, audience members, and the ills they perceive in society? How are we liberated by action in a performance sphere? Is "group therapy" an appropriate analogy for performance events? This PERFORMANCY FORUM deals with these questions via performances from 5 artists.
