Curations

The A.O. Movement Collective’s barrish was opened to the public for curation in May of 2011, and was booked solid by December of 2011.  Current curations range from family members to previous strangers, homes to performance spaces, and span New York, DC, and PA.  Over the next year, the AOMC will continue to create and present these 9 distinctive versions of barrish, culminating in the final premiere of barrish in NYC, this summer 2012.

barrish is not accepting further curations until after its final premiere in the summer of 2012.  That being said, if you’d like more information on presenting the work after that point, are interested in curating a showing of the AOMC’s next work in process, or just want to beg us to pleeeeeeease add one more curation, please express your interest and we’ll see what we can do!

And don’t forget to mark your calendar for our upcoming showings – we’d love to have you with us!
