we stain each other (because we care)
This multi-media meditation on Otherness, Desire, and Longing, works through images of stains, bone, and mad faeries to invoke metaphors of the cyclical to undermine patriarchy and stupidity, pushing against the constraints of the logic of consumption to find thresholds where “doing the same thing twice” can forge correspondences.
Developed and performed by Chris Danowski & Jenny Cohen, with special appearances by Elina Zavala and Caitlyn Conlin before they split for the coasts.
This is about you.
The first segment will be presented at Space55’s 7 Minutes in Heaven on Saturday, June 28th, 2008. 9pm

Welcome to the official website for Theater In My Basement/SW Annex (aka TIMB, aka the BASEMENT, aka not aka 47, we are revolutionaries but not in armed resistance, pero vive la résistance...!)
We are Phoenix-based and dedicated to experimental performance, creating new, transcultural works of mediated visceral intelligence, and participating in all manner of collaborations (dada, zapatista, free trade coffee, rhizomatic speaking subjects, body art, glue).
Arriba arriba,
TIMB
We are dedicated to work that addresses where we are geographically and philosophically, and are interested in investigating the places where these intersect on a mutually determined glocal table/playing field. As a collective, we are already born with many tongues, and some of us have two or three, which makes speech difficult but entirely possible. We are developing a style of performance that speaks to bilingual (and multilingual) audiences, utilizing subaltern, alternative modes of presentation, technologically and philosophically reconfiguring the dna of a post-consumer idea of a thought of a notion. We do not dance.
To contact us, send an email to chris@timb.org or teatrocaliente@gmail.com
We are a Non-Profit, with 501(c)(3) status, and do accept tax-deductable donations. To make a donation, send a check payable to TIMB and mail to:
