What do you think? Will you pay to watch Live Art online in Hi-Def? Here are the projects currently available for viewing:

construct | Tanja Liedtke

The final project by the late Australian choreographer Tanja Liedtke, construct is a tongue-in-cheek look at the act of making performance and the connection to building a home, a relationship and a life. In a charged theatrical setting, 3 highly-skilled dancers depict a strange love triangle with simple props, sound by DJ TR!P and breakneck movement.

Orgy of Tolerance | Jan Fabre

One of the most respected and audacious artists on the international performance scene, Belgian artist Jan Fabre employs actors, dancers and musicians to paint a provocative panorama of a Visa/MasterCard society that indulges in every possible fetish.

THE SHIPMENT | Young Jean Lee Theater Company

In what is arguably her most hilarious yet challenging work to date, Young Jean Lee and a talented cast of 5 African-American performers create an unsettling terrain of well-trodden stereotypes that dare audiences to laugh as they consider their own preconceptions about race and culture.

Transition | Reggie Watts & Tommy Smith
A collaboration featuring Reggie Watts—standup comedian, former front man of rock band Maktub, R&B soul singer and experimental performer—and director/writer Tommy Smith. Transitioncombines Teen Wolf, Stevie Wonder, apocalyptic overtones and a dynamic ensemble of NYC and Seattle actors with Watts’ trademark schizophrenic sound manipulations and storytelling.

Alaska | Diana Szeinblum

Created by former Pina Bausch protégé Diana Szeinblum, Alaska is a sensual portrayal of memory and loneliness featuring 4 dancers. Szeinblum uses dark humor, extreme physicality, original music and a minimal set to create a beautiful spectacle that gravitates between uneasy stillness and violent frenzy.

Americana Kamikaze | Temporary Distortion (filmed at PS 122 in NYC)

Mining the worlds of Japanese ghost stories and J-Horror, Americana Kamikaze utilizes Temporary Distortion’s signature box set as an East-meets-West psychological horror story unspools, complete with vengeful spirits, impossible physical manipulations, elliptical storylines, nightmarish cinematography and stunning visuals.

Another You | Allen Johnson

Humorous, fierce and poignant, Allen Johnson draws from his experience as a visual artist, poet, truck driver and boiler mechanic to create a solo performance exploring the recklessness and vulnerability needed for an intimate encounter with God, a lover, or oneself. Directed by Sean Ryan,Another You is a series of brutally honest, interwoven monologues exploring our primal need for intimacy.
