I Want to Be

A series of performances that occur via telephone conference call by Anna Kroll and Chloe Engel.

You dial the number provided on the date that you’re supposed to.
You close your eyes and listen.
You enter a room.
There are other people in the room. We are in the room with you. 
We tell you how the room is built, 
What the room contains
What contains the room
What happens in the room
and how it will eventually all be destroyed.
You listen.

Every call is a new room. 

Call (760) 548-9513

In each performance, Kroll and Engel navigate a score in which they co-imagine events in a room. These are improvisational, spoken performances that have developed out of their collaborative practice of negotiating and refining scores to create imaginary realities. To attend the performance audience members call a phone number at a specific time, hear a welcome message and enter the “space”. A live captioned version will also be simultaneously available.
