During the New Genre Festival several local artists have participated in residencies and workshops with the New Genre XVIII artists. Over two weeks these locals will be immersed in various approaches to creating performance art. They will explore uses of space and physical structure. They will discover new uses for their voices. They will be inundated with ideas on how to effectively express themselves in this complicated art form. The New Genre Cabaret is a format of short performance-based art forms that are the outcome of these explorations and are as diverse as the people who have made them. Tickets are $7, or $5 for members.
