REPORT FROM THE GHOST CITY

The Disembodied Theater Corporation brings you an evening of
dispatches, news, songs, and fragments from the Ghost City: the
skeletal remains of industry, railways, and graveyards that stand as
remnants of a lost society. Join us in a haunting assemblage of
ruins, rants, and shards of memory that paint a collective portrait
of dystopia.

Featuring film, video, and performance works by:

Jodie Baltazar, Marit Brook-Kothlow, Judith Fischer,

Mike Ibarra, Charles Kremenak, Bruce Landick,

Kerry Laitala, Ross Lipman, Katherin McInnis, Laura Steenberge,

Konrad Steiner, Anjali Sundaram, and Closer to Carbon

NO WAY OUT BUT ONWARD: An adventure in psychogeography through New
York's High Line

PowerPoint performance written and narrated by Ross Lipman
Duet for Contrabass by Laura Steenberge, performed with Mike Ibarra
Photos by Leigh Evans, Ross Lipman, Nina Mankin.

The High Line is the abandoned freight rail that runs through the
west side of Manhattan. Recently designated the future site of an
undetermined public space, it for the moment remains a haunted
paradise above the city--a verdant wasteland inhabited only by
occasional taggers, wanderers, and police. In October 2004 a ragtag
group of us ventured up to explore. As we were to learn, it's a
space with its own internal logic, interacting with its visitors in a
way unique to each.

THE DISEMBODIED THEATER CORPORATION
is a newly created performance group founded by filmmaker Ross Lipman
to realize temporary manifestations of non-filmic cinemas.
