The acclaimed Corporeal Mime artist will perform material from her Three Pillar Project, in which she is reviving and documenting historical Corporeal Mime pieces, including two by Etienne Decroux, the originator of the field. Luyten's (and Decroux's) discipline is a reactionary form of theater with a specific and unique vocabulary for the articulation of the body. The Corporeal Mime actor strives to embody thought, and the drama expressed in Corporeal Mime is decidedly non-situational and nonlinear: there is no plot, no sequence of events and no character portrayed. Luyten's current work at Watermill includes a workshop for children.

There are no remaining tickets. However, you may contact Watermill to be added to the wait list.

Call (631) 726-4628 or contact the Center via our Contact page. (Select "Events" in the Subject line.) We need your full name, phone number and/or email address, and the number of people who will accompany you to the performance.

Tours of the Watermill Center can be arranged after the reception for interested persons.
