ARTISTS

Reggie Watts (performer, composer, musician, writer) and Tommy Smith (director, writer) create absurd experimental comedic theatricals for modern performance spaces. Their newest work, Dutch A/V, developed at IRT in December 2009. Transition played at the 2008 Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Time Based Art Festival, the 2009 Under The Radar Festival at The Public Theater and On The Boards in Seattle; it was also the winner of the 2008 MAP Fund Award and 2009 Creative Capital award. Their previous theater piece Disinformation was seen at the 2008 UTR Festival, PICA: TBA 07, The Museum of Contemporary Art (Chicago) and The Warhol Museum (Pittsburgh). Radio Play premiered at Ars Nova (New York) and will play at the Seattle Rep during Bumbershoot 2009 and Redhouse in Syracuse, March 2010. Reggie and Tommy also regularly host OCCURRENCE, a cabaret of alternative performers, which has been seen at Ars Nova, Galapagos, The Tank, Leftbank (Portland) and various unconventional spaces.
