The Archive Residency, a collaboration between New Ohio Theatre and IRT Theater, is a unique incubator for New York City’s most promising emerging independent theater companies. Now in its third year, the two year residency offers each company that most elusive and invaluable resource, an artistic home, including space, artistic support, and institutional continuity for the development and presentation of a new work, culminating in an exciting world premiere.
The two companies completing their residencies this spring are The Assembly, a collective of multi-disciplinary performance artists committed to realizing a visceral and intelligent theater for a new generation and Blessed Unrest, in its 15th season of generating original theatre in NYC and touring internationally.

‘Body: Anatomies of Being’, conceived and directed by Jessica Burr, written by Matt Opatrny, created and choreographed by the Blessed Unrest ensemble.
