the 1999 Tour

The Ensemble

The ensemble is composed of several groups with current or future releases on the Metatron Press label and individual performers from throughout Texas. The ensemble has two tours to it's credit: December 1998, December 1999.

The ensemble specializes in improvisational mayhem that steals from music, poetry, dance and whatever else is at hand. They perform work that straddles the line between improvisation and composition and between music and poetry. That alone puts the ensemble and the performers in very select company. The ensemble is unique in creating visually exciting work that can be both funny and challenging. Even more uniquely, the work appeals to children and captivates adults.
