Interdisciplinary. Intermedial. International.

Anomalous Co is a predominantly queer/woman-led, feminist, transdisciplinary performance collective, collaboratively creating original works at the intersection of drama, new media, circus arts, installation and immersive performance, and music theatre. With a core team based in the US (New York), we maintain collaborative partnerships across the globe. Practice as research and experimental pedagogy are central to our work. Our methods are syncretic, drawing upon the rich lineage of twentieth and twenty-first century European and US performance practices. Our productions are devised in both professional and academic settings. Our work has been seen across the US, and in Poland, France, Russia, and globally online. Our most recent work, (beyond) Doomsday Scrolling, an anti-war performance and panel discussion to benefit Ukrainian humanitarian aid, was hosted by New York’s Center at West Park.
We are a theatre without borders: intercultural, international, multilingual and committed to:
foregrounding minoritarian voices in the US and abroad;
amplifying the voices and the perspectives of women;
transcending national borders, working in collaboration with artistic teams around the globe - facilitated by new media technologies and forms - and creating multilingual works that give expression to a multicultural perspective;
generating both original and pre-scripted works of performance that explode disciplinary boundaries and engage with the urgent issues of our time;
adhering to a collaborative ethos: distributed leadership models, group decision making, and networked structures of cooperation.
