Creative Risk + Innovation
Our performance projects tend to fall into one of three camps: Large-scale durational work (The Attendants, Glory Road); shows for theatrical venues (LIVE/FEED, Opal, The Maiden); and site-specific “happenings” (Sisyphus 2.0, How to Explain Theatre to a Dead Audience).
Our theatre practice forms the backbone of our aesthetic and our collaborative process.

“As LIVE/FEED proves quite ominously, these are certainly interesting times. The ensemble is unanimously excellent, showing the kind of passion and attention to craft that is so crucial to making this type of experimental performance successful.”

“Glory Road is a kind of minimalist cyberpunk version of the myth of Sisyphus, and demonstrates the awesome power of theater to conquer you by very slightly aestheticizing a real act of tremendous physical difficulty.”

“Bypassing traditional theatrical conventions and creating a new dialogue with the viewer, The Attendants marks itself as an important new development in performance, with its questioning of captivity and innovative use of technology.”
— Village Voice
"The Nerve Tank’s extremely entertaining creation [of The Maiden] is one that commands attention with its out-of-the-box restructuring of a classic Greek text as a visual and auditory brain freeze."
— Exeunt Magazine
“A Gathering is a bold, exciting work that pushes and frequently explodes the boundaries of conventional theater.”
