Two performers of unusual talents rehearse how they will delight and confound a group of earnest scholars. Intent on conjuring the colonial object of inquiry who refuses to cooperate and the privileged angst of the postcolonial, diasporic intellectual, the performers grapple—literally—with the gendered, raced, and sexual assumptions that construct knowledge. Multiple performance codes intersect and collide with Kafka’s “A Report for an Academy” and the Natyashastra as the collaborators slip and slide across the boundaries of theatre and “reality.” Third Space Performance Lab is a collaborative project between Indo-American dancer-performer Shanti Pillai and Guyanese-Canadian actor Marc Gomes. We come from different theatrical backgrounds and together stake our claim for the overwhelming importance of humor and beauty. Our base is Los Angeles.

Our work lives between experimental performance, installation, and popular media. We instigate questions of gender, nationality, and hybridity through images of ethnic ambiguity and by juxtaposing unexpected points of cultural reference. We blur the boundaries between performance and audience and play with the distinctions between actor and character. Our bodies are the central focus of what we do and speak in multiple theatrical languages.
